India hosts Youth20 Summit for the first time

Union Minister Anurag Thakur


Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Anurag Thakur will on Friday launch the themes, logo and website of the Y20 Summit India, being held in India for the first time.

The event being held at Akashwani Rang Bhawan here will have two sessions, beginning with the launch of the logo, website and release of themes in the first session by the Minister.

In the second session, panel discussions by young achievers will take place. These will be anchored on how India can harness its youth population to be a superpower and discuss the personal success stories of the panelists.

In the Youth20 Engagement Group, India’s key focus is to bring young leaders from all across the globe and discuss ideas for a better tomorrow and draft an agenda for action.

The activities to be undertaken by Y20 during India’s presidency will focus on global youth leadership and partnership. For the next eight months, there will be pre-summits on the five Y20 themes along with various discussions and seminars at different Universities across states in India in a run up to the final Youth-20 Summit.

For India, the G20 Presidency also marks the beginning of Amrit Kaal, the 25-year period beginning from the 75th anniversary of its Independence on August 15, 2022, leading up to the centenary of the Independence, towards a futuristic, prosperous, inclusive and developed society, distinguished by a human-centric approach at its core.

India is playing a significant role in finding workable solutions at the international level to ensure a holistic well-being embodying the idea of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.
