Youth Urged to Drive Creative Economy and AI for Viksit Bharat

India wants its youth to stop merely consuming digital content and start creating it for global audiences. Speaking to learners in Noida, Union Minister of State for Information & Broadcasting Dr. L. Murugan urged young professionals to harness emerging opportunities across artificial intelligence, gaming, visual effects, and digital media to propel the nation toward Viksit Bharat @ 2047.

The push aligns with sweeping structural changes under the National Education Policy 2020 and academic access platforms like One Nation One Subscription. Emphasizing that job creation increasingly hinges on practical capabilities rather than formal degrees, the Minister cited RBI-KLEMS data showing India generated approximately 17.1 crore jobs between 2014-15 and 2023-24 across services, manufacturing, and infrastructure.

For aspiring entrepreneurs and students, the address signals expanding policy backing for the AVGC and deep-tech sectors. Bridging academic learning with industry-ready skills remains the central priority, with the government calling on young innovators not just to seek corporate employment, but to build viable enterprises that create jobs for others.

The Minister also tied technological progress to civic responsibility, urging students to embody the constitutional duty of developing a scientific temper and inquiry. As emerging tech disrupts traditional workplace roles, policy focus is decisively pivoting toward multidisciplinary education, lifelong learning, and equitable access to digital research nationwide.
