middlemen- Vice President
Opportunities in New Bharat are now decided by merit, not patronage -VP

narratives”, cautions VP
The Vice President,
Jagdeep Dhankhar today described Bharat as the land of ‘hope and opportunities’
asserting that our ‘Amrit Kaal’ is a launchpad for Viksit Bharat@2047.
Addressing
the Centenary Annual Convocation celebrations of the University of Delhi, Dhankhar
drew attention to the monumental and phenomenal rise of India and highlighted
that India today is exploding with possibilities and defining the global order.
Referring
to India’s impactful rise on the international front as a global leader, the
Vice President underlined that “the world now recognises India’s soft diplomacy
as a stabilising force and as the voice of the Global South .” he cited the
inclusion of African Union and the announcement of the India-Middle East-Europe
trade route in G20 as a resounding successes in this regard.
Exhorting the students to shake off the obsession with competitive
examinations and look beyond usual job opportunities, Dhankhar insisted “Bharat
has expectations from you, not just as employees, but as innovators,
entrepreneurs, and change makers”. Future belongs to those who dare to
dream bigger, bolder, beyond the ordinary, he told the graduating students.
Praising the
transparent governance ecosystem in the country, Dhankhar said, “dark clouds of
corruption that cast a shadow over our nation for a period far too long have
now vanished. Governance, rather than being an obstruction is now enabling-
open, accessible, and serves the people, not a privileged few.”
VP
further asserted that now opportunities are decided by merit and not by
patronage. “Equality before law, quintessential to Democracy is no longer just
a constitutional ideal, it is an acknowledged reality”, he stressed.
Stating that India is
at the forefront when it comes to investment and research in disruptive
technologies, the Vice President described initiatives like Green Hydrogen
Mission and National Quantum Mission as new avenues of growth for the youth and
asked them to make full use of these technologies for the benefit of the nation
and society at large.
Referring to the
youth as the most vital stakeholders in governance, the Vice-President called
upon the discerning minds to neutralise those who engage in tainting and
tarnishing our national image.
“Beware of those who
have insatiable appetite to set afloat anti national narratives. Beware of
those who have ostrich stance to our exponential phenomenal economic and
developmental rise. Beware of those who are recipe for chaos when it comes to
serve the Nation”, he cautioned.
