Addressing the young appointees, PM Modi congratulated them for securing permanent government positions and emphasised their crucial role in strengthening India’s economy, infrastructure, internal security, and welfare systems. He stated, “The more dedicated you are, the faster we progress towards a Viksit Bharat.”

Highlighting the importance of youth in national development, PM Modi remarked that countries where youth actively participate in growth see rapid progress. He pointed to India’s young population as a key driver behind the country’s advancements in technology and innovation.

Focus on innovation and self-employment

The Prime Minister underlined the success of government initiatives like Skill India, Startup India, and Digital India, noting their impact in opening platforms for innovation and entrepreneurship. He credited young Indians for leading the digital transformation through platforms like UPI, ONDC, and GeM.

Citing record growth in sectors such as automobiles, footwear, and Khadi and cottage industries, PM Modi noted that the turnover for Khadi and cottage industries has crossed Rs 1.7 lakh crore. He also spoke about the expansion of inland water transport, where cargo movement through waterways grew from 18 million tonnes in 2014 to 145 million tonnes in 2025, and the number of national waterways increased from 5 to over 110.

Another highlight was PM Modi’s mention of the upcoming World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit (WAVES 2025) in Mumbai, aimed at providing a platform for young content creators in India.

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has issued a powerful statement denouncing the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam area, which claimed at least 26 lives on April 22. In a press statement released by the Council President, France’s Ambassador Jerome Bonnafont, the 15-member body “condemned in the strongest terms” the violence and emphasized the urgent need to bring perpetrators, organizers, financiers, and sponsors of the attack to justice.

Highlighting the gravity of the situation, the UNSC stressed that all states must actively cooperate with relevant authorities under their obligations of international law and Security Council resolutions. The Council reaffirmed its longstanding position that terrorism, in all its forms, poses a serious threat to international peace and security.

The victims of the April 22 attack included 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen, primarily tourists from various parts of India. Expressing profound condolences, the Council extended sympathy to the families of those killed and to the governments of India and Nepal. It also wished a swift and full recovery to the injured.

A press statement from the Security Council is a collective declaration made by its President on behalf of all 15 members. Notably, the United States is reported to have circulated the draft for this particular statement, which underwent negotiations before its release. Pakistan, currently a non-permanent member of the Council, was also part of the discussions.

Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, through his spokesperson Stephane Dujarric, expressed “deep concern” over the situation between India and Pakistan, urging both nations to exercise “maximum restraint” to prevent further escalation. Responding to speculation about tensions between the two countries, Dujarric reaffirmed that the UN is closely monitoring the situation and reiterated condemnation of the terrorist attack.

The UNSC further emphasized that all terrorist acts are criminal and unjustifiable, irrespective of their motives, and called for international efforts to combat terrorism while adhering to the United Nations Charter and obligations under international law.
