PM Narendra Modi addresses the Jagran Forum
A vibrant democracy requires Jan Bhaagidaari – the participation of the people: PM Modi
Mahatma Gandhi had turned the freedom struggle into a people’s movement: PM Modi
#SwachhBharat has turned into a people’s movement: PM Narendra Modi
'Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana' & 'Start Up India – Stand Up India' initiatives are creating a positive impact: PM Modi

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today addressed the Jagran Forum, organized in New Delhi by Jagran Prakashan Limited.

The Prime Minister used the quote “Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty,” to emphasize the importance of awareness in democracy. He said a vibrant democracy requires Jan Bhaagidaari – the participation of the people. The Prime Minister recalled how Mahatma Gandhi had turned the freedom struggle into a people’s movement. He said this model of “Jan-Andolan” should be applied to the country’s development process as well.

The Prime Minister said laws made before independence were based on the premise that people should not be trusted. However, this approach should now change.

In this context, the Prime Minister gave examples of self-certification of documents, the people’s participation in Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, and the Give-it-up campaign for LPG subsidy.

The Prime Minister explained how the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana, and the “Start Up India – Stand Up India” initiatives were creating a positive impact.

The Prime Minister also explained the approach of “Minimum Government, Maximum Governance” and said archaic laws were being weeded out.

The Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue, now in its second edition, is a national platform designed to facilitate structured engagement between India’s youth and national leadership. Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue aligns with the Prime Minister’s Independence Day call to engage one lakh youth in politics without political affiliations and provide them a national platform to make their ideas for Viksit Bharat, a reality.

Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2026, being held from 9th to 12th January 2026, has witnessed participation from over 50 lakh youth across the country at various levels. The young leaders converging at the national-level championship have been selected through a rigorous, merit-based three-stage selection process, comprising a nationwide digital quiz, an essay challenge, and state-level vision presentations.

The second edition of the Dialogue builds upon the success of its inaugural edition with key new additions, including the introduction of Design for Bharat, Tech for Viksit Bharat - Hack for a Social Cause, expanded thematic engagements, and international participation for the first time, further strengthening the Dialogue’s scope and impact.
