This convention reflects the Indian government's strategic focus on 'demographic dividend' by formalizing the role of youth in the 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India) 2047 roadmap. By bridging the gap between high-level policy and the youth population, the administration is attempting to create a sense of ownership among young citizens regarding the country's long-term economic and social targets.
