Speaking at the conclusion of MY Bharat Budget Quest 2026, Mandaviya highlighted the importance of young people in the journey towards Viksit Bharat @2047, urging them to contribute ideas aligned with the Union Budget priorities.

The two-day program, part of a nationwide initiative that included participation from all eight North Eastern states, was held at U Soso Tham Auditorium. Mandaviya also announced future events such as the Viksit Bharat Young Leader Dialogue, which will incorporate state-level competitions.

These competitions aim to identify talented individuals who will have the opportunity to meet with chief ministers and governors.
