She added that college and university years are the most valuable phases of life, where self-confidence, knowledge, friendships, and leadership skills are built, forming a strong foundation for later life.

She urged the youth to use technology as a tool and not let it dominate them.

Referring to the growing influence of AI in the digital age, Chief Minister Gupta urged the youth to ensure that they control technology and not let technology control them.

She said that interacting with students and student representatives at the event was a particularly emotional and inspiring experience.

The Chief Minister concluded by calling on the youth to shoulder the responsibility of taking the country forward with confidence, innovation, and energy.

In a message on social media platform X, Chief Minister Gupta said, "Thirty years ago, on January 12, 1996, while speaking on the ideals of Swami Vivekananda ji as the President of the DU Students' Union, the confidence and national spirit we witnessed among the youth was visible today with even greater maturity and resolve."

"I had the privilege of participating in the 'Viksit Bharat ka Sankalp aur Yuva' programme at Hansraj College in the presence of Union Minister Jitendra Singh ji. Today, Delhi's youth are both influencing and innovating. In line with the dreams of Swami Vivekananda, the resolve of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji for a 'Developed India' is not a fleeting goal, but a continuous national endeavour," she added.

"Its greatest strength is the youth of the country, who know how to transform ideas into action and resolve into results. On this occasion, the presence of former Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank' ji and revered Pradeep Bhaiya ji Maharaj was there," the Chief Minister said.
