New Delhi, Feb 21 (NationPress) Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted on Friday that India requires effective leadership to realize the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, emphasizing the significant role the School of Ultimate Leadership (SOUL) will have in this endeavor.
His comments followed the inauguration of the inaugural SOUL Conclave held here.
During his address at Bharat Mandapam in the national capital, PM Modi stated: "To enhance the pace of growth, we require world-class leaders, and institutions like SOUL can be a transformative force in this regard."
Highlighting India's emergence as a global powerhouse, he remarked: "The nation necessitates dynamic leaders across all sectors capable of addressing global challenges.
He noted the formation of SOUL as a significant milestone towards achieving Viksit Bharat 2047.
Recalling Swami Vivekananda's call for 100 energetic youths to revolutionize India, PM Modi remarked: "We need to channel that same energy and vision to progress forward."
"In every domain, we require the finest leaders—not just in politics, but across all fields. SOUL has the potential to cultivate the leadership of the 21st century. Graduates from SOUL could emerge as top political leaders," he added.
He emphasized the necessity of elevating India’s governance and policy-making to a world-class standard, achievable only when policymakers, bureaucrats, and entrepreneurs connect their policies with a global framework. "To realize Viksit Bharat, we must advance in all sectors... We must not only strive for excellence but also attain it...," he stated.
Importantly, SOUL is a leadership institute established in Gujarat aimed at fostering authentic leaders to serve the public good. Its goal is to expand the political leadership landscape in the country through formal training, welcoming those who rise through merit, dedication, and a passion for public service rather than solely through political heritage.
The SOUL Conclave, concluding on Saturday, seeks to create a collaborative ecosystem of thought leadership, encouraging learning from both triumphs and setbacks, to motivate younger audiences. The platform aims to unite individuals from various backgrounds to discuss facets of leadership.
