A very special program will be held for university students and young professionals who are eager to pursue further education. On that day, the iconic Bharat Mandapam, where respected world leaders gathered for the G-20 Summit, will host the G-20 University Connect Finale. The G-20 University Connect program has brought together India's Yuva Shakti over the past year. The year-long initiative proved to be incredibly fruitful and produced results that were extremely satisfying. It demonstrated to the world how our young people have become dynamic cultural ambassadors who have forged enduring bonds with the G-20 fraternity.
Additionally, it has given the youth the opportunity to learn more about India's G-20 Presidency, the themes we have focused on during our Presidency, spark a sense of global community, and get ready to be active creators of a Viksit Bharat by 2047. Numerous initiatives have been run under the G-20 University Connect banner. Numerous higher education institutions have participated in these programs, which have been held all over India.
In fact, a program that was initially designed for universities quickly expanded to include schools and colleges, reaching an even larger audience. The "Model G20 Meeting", where students from 12 different countries, including 10 G20 countries, gathered to discuss the theme "Youth for LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment)", was one event that stands out. I'm excited to hear about our Yuva Shakti's experiences during the special G-20 University Connect program and to learn from them. Their educational journey will undoubtedly inspire our country's youth. I especially encourage all the young people to participate in this innovative project.
