Jharkhand Governor calls for youth role in developed India

Ranchi, Oct 22 (UNI) Jharkhand Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar on Thursday called upon young people to stay away from drugs and engage in education, sports, skill development and creative activities while addressing the inaugural ceremony of Swarnim Bharat Expo 2026 in Ranchi.
Gangwar said India was making progress in science and technology, space, healthcare, education, agriculture, infrastructure and digital services. He said the knowledge, skills and creativity of young people could give new direction to the country's development.
Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's “Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan”, the Governor said keeping young people away from drugs and encouraging their participation in constructive activities was a collective responsibility.
He said the vision of a developed India could be realised only through the active participation of every citizen and urged people to contribute to their respective fields with honesty, hard work and excellence.
Referring to his visits to remote villages in various districts of Jharkhand, Gangwar said he had interacted with residents and encouraged them to learn about and benefit from welfare schemes of the Central and state governments.
He expressed confidence that the expo would help citizens access information on government schemes, modern technology, employment and skill development opportunities.
Highlighting Jharkhand's development potential, the Governor said the state's natural resources, tribal heritage, art, culture and talented youth offered opportunities for progress. He said these strengths could be harnessed through modern knowledge, technology, skills and entrepreneurship.
