The talent, technical proficiency, and social harmony of the youth are the greatest strengths of a developed India: Keshav Prasad Maurya

In Bareilly, Mr. Maurya stated that the youth of the nation and the state play a crucial role in realizing the vision of a 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India). Through the distribution of tablets, young people are being digitally empowered, enabling them to engage with modern technology and knowledge to access new opportunities for employment and self-reliance. Furthermore, India’s vast reserves of thorium could play a significant role in the future of the energy sector. While honoring meritorious individuals, he remarked that this event—dedicated to recognizing talent and fostering social harmony—is not merely an awards ceremony, but a celebration of societal unity, harmony, and the brilliance of talented individuals.

Discussing the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he noted that since 2014, there has been a decisive shift in India’s policy regarding terrorism. Today, the nation responds firmly to terrorism and threats concerning national security.

Addressing the state’s law and order situation, the Deputy Chief Minister pointed out that between 2012 and 2017, Uttar Pradesh was plagued by crime and lawlessness. Today, the rule of law has been firmly established in the state; strict action is being taken against criminals, and the effectiveness of the law is clearly visible within the police system. Taking a dig at the Samajwadi Party (SP), Mr. Maurya asserted that in the BJP’s political philosophy, the nation and society—not any single family—take precedence. The BJP’s objective is the development of every section of society and every family. He emphasized that social unity, the empowerment of the youth, and the upliftment of the poor form the cornerstone of a 'developed' Uttar Pradesh. Congratulating the honored individuals and their parents, Mr. Maurya remarked that their success represents the strength of society, and their talent is the future of Uttar Pradesh. He called upon everyone to contribute toward realizing the vision of a 'Developed India' and building a developed, self-reliant Uttar Pradesh.
