He said, <em>&#8220;The Kulhad Economy represents a financially inclusive India where the bottom of the economic pyramid becomes a part of the national growth story. Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s vision is the same\u2014empowering the grassroots.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Anurag Thakur Slams Rahul Gandhi<\/h3>\n<p>In response to <strong>Rahul Gandhi\u2019s controversial statements<\/strong> made abroad, alleging a threat to democracy in India and criticising the RSS, Thakur said, <em>&#8220;Rahul Gandhi has made it a habit to oppose India on foreign soil. During critical operations like Sindoor and the air strikes, he praised Pakistan from within India. What compels him to consistently oppose his own country?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He added that such actions have led the Congress party to suffer <strong>defeats in 90 elections<\/strong>, and predicted further setbacks in upcoming elections like Bihar 2025. <em>\u201cHis Pakistan love and misplaced narratives have only damaged Congress\u2019 credibility,\u201d<\/em> Thakur asserted.<\/p>\n<h3>&#8216;Kulhad Economy&#8217; and India&#8217;s Tech Growth<\/h3>\n<p>Returning to the student dialogue, Thakur lauded IIT Mandi for its unique fusion of <strong>academic excellence and cultural grounding<\/strong>. He noted, <em>&#8220;IIT Mandi&#8217;s spiritual and intellectual atmosphere mirrors our Sanatan tradition, where education is incomplete without values. Students today are more culturally and intellectually awake than ever before.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He emphasized the significance of Himachal Pradesh&#8217;s contribution to <strong>India\u2019s science and defence sectors<\/strong>, calling the Himalayas a <em>\u201ctimeless sentinel standing guard for the nation.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>India\u2019s Journey to a Developed Nation<\/h3>\n<p>Highlighting India&#8217;s transformation over the past decade, Thakur said, <em>\u201cFrom 2014 to 2025, historic changes have laid the foundation for a developed India by 2047. Nearly 2,000 obsolete laws have been removed, simplifying the path to business and governance reform.\u201d<\/em> He credited programs like <strong>Jan Dhan Yojana<\/strong>, under which <strong>over 56 crore bank accounts<\/strong> have been opened, for ushering in financial inclusion.<\/p>\n<h3>Strong Message to Pakistan<\/h3>\n<p>On national security, Thakur declared, <em>\u201cIndia has responded firmly to Pakistan\u2019s proxy war through Operation Sindoor. Today, Pakistan must think a hundred times before attempting to export terrorism to our soil.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He asserted that India has now emerged as a <strong>manufacturing powerhouse<\/strong> thanks to <strong>Make in India<\/strong>, <strong>Startup India<\/strong>, and <strong>MSME support<\/strong>, making it the <strong>fourth-largest economy in the world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Final Words to the Youth<\/h3>\n<p>Concluding his address, Thakur urged the students to actively contribute to India\u2019s progress. <em>\u201cOur youth are key to India becoming a developed nation by 2047. Once they set a goal, they don\u2019t stop until they achieve it,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n<p>The event was attended by local BJP leaders including <strong>Balh MLA Inder Singh Gandhi<\/strong>, <strong>Mandi MC Mayor Virender Bhatt<\/strong>, and <strong>Raja Singh Malhotra<\/strong>, reflecting strong local support for Thakur&#8217;s vision and statements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India&#8217;s Youth Spiritually and Intellectually Awakened;
