2020-India�s biggest asset its youth resource: Dr Jitendra

Excelsior CorrespondentNEW DELHI, Jan 23 : Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh said here today that 2020 - India�s biggest asset is its youth resource.Addressing the Student Parliament� of the reputed Hindu College, as chief guest at the College Annual Conclave �Vaktavya 2020� here today, Dr Jitendra Singh said, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set before us the goal of 5 trillion US dollar economy. He said, the confidence to achieve this goal is inspired by the energy, potential and capability of the youth, who comprise more than 65% of India�s population today, which makes India one of the biggest youth resource pools in the world.While observing that the present generation of youth was born at a time when India is� on the verge of emerging on the top, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the difference between youth of present generation and the youth of his generation is that, when he was a student, India enjoyed very little recognition in the outside world, but for today�s youth as a student, the greatest advantage is that India today is the essential nucleus of contemporary world.Describing today�s youth as the privileged Start-Ups of �Global India� and the torch - bearers of Modi�s �New India�, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the best way one can serve the country and the best way of being of optimum utility for the country is to have a commitment, focus and sincerity of purpose� in whatever pursuit each one of us is engaged. This, he said, comes when one realises the esteem of doing what one is doing and develops the passion or �Junoon� for doing what one is doing.While it is important to focus on one�s career building, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the optimal outcomes remain under-achieved if aptitude is overtaken by career.� It is, therefore, at the first instance, important for each one of us to realise what one is best at doing and what one enjoys doing the most, he added.
