During his address at the Dilli Dialogue 2026 in New Delhi, Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, underlined the importance of India's youth in the nation's development journey. He emphasized that the country's young population, numbering approximately 1.4 billion people, brings fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and a strong sense of purpose to policymaking.
Mr. Goyal underscored India's resilience and growth trajectory despite global challenges.
