Question- 21st Century is supposed to belong to Asia, where China and India are two emerging big economic, military and consumer. 

It seems that in last 12 years, India has lost the initial advantage inspite of more than 500Mn population under 30 years of age. 

Still we donot have any roadmap to engage our youths in nation building by providing education, building multi-domain skills and creating opportunities for them. India is seeing great hopes in you to lead nation.
