India’s huge population, which was considered as an burden, is now regarded as an asset, thanks to the rising number of young people, said Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai.
Delivering the valedictory address at the State-level Yuvajanothsava or State Youth Festival at Adichunchanagiri in Mandya district, Mr. Bommai recalled the days when the country was drawing up several programmes to control the population. However, the gradual increase in the population of young people has helped convert the burden into an asset. Presently, people in the age group of 18 to 40 years comprised 40 per cent of the country’s population. “Youth power is a big asset for the country. Whichever country possesses youth power also has a good future.”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has identified the importance of youth power and has conceived of a lot of programmes to use the same for building the country, Mr. Bommai said.
