In a powerful address at the YUGM conclave, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the transformative role of education in shaping the nation’s future. Highlighting the government’s commitment to preparing youth for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century, he said, “The education system plays a key role in preparing the youth for the country’s future.”
PM Modi pointed to the introduction of the New Education Policy (NEP) as a pivotal step toward aligning India’s education system with global standards. “After the introduction of the new Education Policy, we are seeing big changes in the national curriculum framework and learning and teaching material,” he stated.
A major highlight of his speech was the integration of artificial intelligence in education. Under the “One Nation One Education” initiative, AI-based infrastructure has already been set up and is poised for expansion. Modi asserted that the goal is to “Make AI Work for India,” stressing the importance of future-ready learning environments.
He also discussed the establishment of state-of-the-art research and development cells across the country, underlining their contribution to innovation and self-reliance. “We have to work to make India the best in the world in every future technology,” Modi said.
The Prime Minister revealed that India’s gross expenditure on research and development has more than doubled—from ₹60,000 crore in 2013–14 to ₹1.25 lakh crore today. He emphasized the importance of rapid innovation cycles, stating, “It is crucial that the journey from idea to prototype to product is completed in the shortest time possible.”
Closing his address, Modi said, “The trinity of Talent, Temperament and Technology will transform India’s future. Our university campuses are becoming dynamic centres where Yuvashakti is driving breakthrough innovations.”
