UP’s Vanaj Vidyan Shines at National Youth Festival 2025, Impresses PM Modi

Vanaj’s 8-minute presentation, “Steering India Towards a Fully Sustainable Future,” received commendation from the Prime Minister, who also contributed his insights. Subsequently, Vanaj was invited to an exclusive lunch hosted by the Prime Minister, where he engaged with prominent leaders, including Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Youth Affairs Minister Mansukh Mandaviya.
Vanaj’s selection was the result of a rigorous process beginning with a national quiz and essay competition on the MyBharat platform, culminating in his recognition as the Uttar Pradesh State Champion. Among 30 delegates flagged off by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on January 8, Vanaj was the only participant selected to present to the Prime Minister and join the exclusive lunch. Additionally, he attended a dinner hosted by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh for young leaders from Uttar Pradesh on 9th January.
Vanaj is a Gold Medalist from RMLNLU, Lucknow and an upcoming youth leader. He credits Hon'ble Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath as the inspiration for his achievement.
