It showcased to the world how our youth have emerged as vibrant cultural envoys, who have cemented enduring connections with the G-20 fraternity” the Prime Minister said.

“One particularly noteworthy event was the “Model G20 Meeting,” where students from 12 different nations, including 10 G20 countries, came to discuss the theme “Youth for LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment)” PM Modi added.

“During the special G-20 University Connect programme, I am eager to hear and gain insights from the experiences of our Yuva Shakti.
