Says youth must shatter pre-made moulds, create own paths

Srinagar, May 11: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday said governance cannot thrive without the voice of its youth, and inclusive governance means ensuring young people have a real stake in every key sector. 

The LG inaugurated the National Youth Festival - Aarohan 2026 in Srinagar, declaring that the event proclaims a new vision of 'Rise, Shine, and Conquer' to the youth, encapsulating a complete philosophy that lights the path to the future and presents a bold challenge to build a developed India @2047.

"National Youth Festival is also a proclamation that the time for youth has arrived. Through Youth Festival's 'Young Leaders Dialogue,' we are laying the very foundation and the framework on which the next chapter of India's glorious heritage will stand tall," he said.

The LG observed that history was never made by those who waited for permission to be extraordinary. He urged youth participating in 'Viksit J&K Young Leaders Dialogue', 'Hackathon', and 'Cultural Event' to rise up and commit to building a developed India that future generations will take pride in.

"Every young boy and girl has incredible talent. They just need opportunities and faith in themselves. I want India's youth to create their own paths instead of treading well-worn trails, because innovation and invention spring from uncharted routes. What India needs is youth brave enough to shatter pre-made moulds," he said.

Sinha said that culture is our identity and the vibrant proof of our existence, revealing who we are and what dreams and aspirations drive us. "When young people express themselves through music, art, literature, dance, theatre, sports, and crafts, they are channelling the soul of India itself," he said.

The Lieutenant Governor said youth must embrace their uniqueness instead of copying others and realise their full potential. "The world doesn't need another copy of someone who already exists. It craves no duplicates. It needs unique youth like you, individuals with one-of-a-kind personalities who don't just shine for themselves, but light the way for those who come after," he said.

He said victory isn't about dominating others but about conquering apathy, overcoming inequality, and defeating despair. "Our youth must remember that humanity's greatest triumphs weren't won on battlefields. The biggest victories emerged from classrooms and labs, achieved by young trailblazers who refused to accept the world as they found it and transformed it through their resolve and grit. We must triumph over darkness. We must conquer the fear of bold new experiments. And we must resolve to build a strong, empathetic, and developed India," he said.

The event was attended by Minister for Youth Services & Sports Satish Sharma, Additional Chief Secretary Power Development Department Ashwani Kumar, Commissioner Secretary Youth Services and Sports Dr Shahid Iqbal Choudhary, Deputy Commissioner Srinagar Akshay Labroo, SSP Srinagar Dr GV Sundeep Chakravarthy, Director General Youth Services and Sports Anuradha Gupta, young leaders from various parts of the country, senior officials, and a large number of youth.
