Congratulating
the winners of the awards and greeting everyone on the occasion of the

country filled with immense potential. The development of the country is
in the hands of youth who can shape its future. If the energy of youth
is channelized in right direction, the progress of country in various
fields can gain momentum, and youth can become prosperous. The Minister
said that the youth are idealistic, aim high and when they achieve their
goals through their efforts, it becomes necessary to grant recognition
