Manish Sisodia, schools

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Tuesday said the youth should be motivated and provided opportunities to become life-long learners.

He was speaking at the ‘Prayas- Young Minds, New Possibilities’ conference organized by the Enterprise Learning Foundation with an aim to unlock the potential of India’s youth, it said in a statement.

“Indian youth holds the key to the progress of the nation. Youth should be motivated and provided opportunities to become life long learners. Listen to them and believe in them because they will become the innovators who will change the world in the future.

“We as advocates, need to be more experimental in our approach and keep testing new models for educational change and bring them on a large scale for our country at large. Education Policy should be a priority for the government and political leaders,” Sisodia, who is also the education minister, said.

ULF founder Mekin Maheshwari said ‘Prayas’ is an effort to unite like-minded people and organizations who care deeply about the lack of opportunities and avenues for India’s youth to realize their potential .

“The goal is to build a thriving and supportive ecosystem where every individual feels empowered to define their own path,” Maheshwari said.

The statement said the ‘Prayas’ aims to encourage a “united and collective” understanding of current issues and create a “sense of urgency” towards forging new avenues for the youth of our country. Change-makers, practitioners and leaders from over 120 of India’s top organisations, including Delhi government school students, teachers and other independent individuals, participated in the event.
