New Delhi, Jun 28: Asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is determined to make “Bharat Viksit” by 2047, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday asked the youth to take a pledge towards making India a world leader in every sphere in coming years.
Addressing a programme virtually, Shah said, “It is a matter of importance for all of us. Our youth and children should make a resolution of creating an India where it attains the first position in every field in the world when the country celebrates the centenary of its independence,” Shah added.
