The Viksit Bharat Ambassador Yuva Samvad, held on 3rd May at the Banaras Hindu University's Swatantrata Bhawan, drew over 4,000 enthusiastic first-time voters. Spiritual leader Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Bollywood actor Vikrant Massey graced the gathering.

During the event, discussions revolved around pivotal themes such as the role of youth in national development and how they can further the vision of Viksit Bharat. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar emphasised the importance of well-being for Viksit Bharat and commended the country's progress under the present government, highlighting advancements across various sectors.

Vikrant Massey posed a couple of questions to Ravi Shankar, to which Sri Sri replied and explained in detail, including the realisation of the 500-year-old dream of grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya.

During the conversation, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi with initiating key reforms, simplifying processes like opening bank accounts and removing outdated laws, which facilitated entrepreneurship and spiritual growth.

"Opening a bank account was a troublesome task earlier, especially in villages. People were posed with multiple questions but now most of those hurdles have been removed and processes simplified. Many archaic laws have been given away. The country is progressing ahead in all fields, including entrepreneurship, start-up business and spiritual growth," Ravi Shankar said.

He also said that fellow citizens going abroad are brimming with confidence today, and they no longer change their names to look like foreigners, adding that this is a welcome change. He added that the country has found new recognition on the world stage.

The spiritual leader encouraged active participation in elections, likening the voting process to a festival and urging citizens to exercise their right to vote.

After the event, attendees expressed optimism about the initiative's impact on youth engagement and India's developmental aspirations by 2047. Several students attending the program saw it as an enlightening experience that would inspire youth involvement in national schemes. They noted the significant development strides witnessed in Varanasi recently, foreseeing more opportunities ahead. Other participants appreciated the mission's endorsement by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Vikrant Massey, who established a strong connection with Varanasi's youth.

Actor Vikrant Massey expressed his deep bond with Varanasi, urging people to participate actively in the electoral process.

PM chairs 53rd PRAGATI Meeting
August 25, 2026
PM reviews six key infrastructure projects across the Railway, Road and Power sectors
Projects reviewed span across 9 States with cumulative investment of more than ₹30,000 crore
PM says Infrastructure projects should be viewed as an integrated whole, rather than as individual sections or packages
PM calls for continuous reforms across all stages of project implementation and a proactive work culture across Ministries and States
PM says Speed must go hand-in-hand with quality
While reviewing AgriStack, PM emphasises the need to leverage the latest digital technologies including AI to derive greater value from agricultural data
On cyber fraud and ‘digital arrest’, PM stresses training, public awareness, cyber-safety education and coordinated action

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi chaired the 53rd meeting of PRAGATI, the ICT-enabled, multi-modal platform for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation, at Seva Teerth earlier today.

During the meeting, Prime Minister reviewed six key infrastructure projects across the Railway, Road and Power sectors, spanning nine States with a cumulative cost of more than ₹30,000 crore. The projects, significant for strengthening connectivity, supporting industrial and economic activity and improving public services, were reviewed with particular emphasis on adherence to timelines, inter-agency coordination, resolution of pending issues and expeditious completion.

Prime Minister emphasised that delays in infrastructure projects have consequences beyond cost escalation, as they also postpone the benefits intended for citizens, businesses and the economy. He said that infrastructure projects should be viewed and monitored as an integrated whole, rather than as isolated sections, stretches or packages. He noted that progress in individual packages should ultimately translate into timely completion and operationalisation of the entire project. Ministries and States were therefore asked to adopt an end-to-end approach, and address critical gaps that could delay the overall commissioning and delivery of benefits. He called for fostering a proactive work culture across Ministries and State Governments, with greater ownership at every level of project implementation.

Prime Minister stressed the need to explore common utility corridors for infrastructure services, wherever feasible, particularly while planning major transport and infrastructure projects. He called upon Ministries and States to examine such integrated approaches at the planning stage itself, keeping in view their technical and economic feasibility.

Prime Minister said that speed of execution must be accompanied by uncompromising quality. He called upon Ministries, States and implementing agencies to adopt modern technologies and strengthen quality assurance and supervision at every stage.

While reviewing AgriStack under the Digital Agriculture Mission, Prime Minister emphasised the need to leverage the latest digital technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, to derive greater value from agricultural data. He stressed that the data ecosystem should be effectively utilised across the agricultural value chain, from input planning to processing, enabling more informed interventions, better targeting and data-driven decision-making. He appreciated the efforts of the States and the Central Government in building the AgriStack ecosystem and called for further strengthening its use for delivering better outcomes for farmers.

During the review of cyber fraud cases, including incidents of digital arrest, Prime Minister said that prevention must be strengthened through a sustained focus on training, awareness and education. He stressed the need for continuous and targeted public-awareness campaigns, particularly for senior citizens, youth and other vulnerable sections, to familiarise them with common fraud techniques, warning signs and safe digital practices. He also called for regular capacity-building of personnel involved so that emerging modes of cyber fraud are identified and acted upon swiftly.
