Why becoming a voter is a big responsibility
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his message that voting is not only a right but also a responsibility to decide the future of the country. He said that the voter is the soul of democracy. The indelible ink on the finger is not just a mark, but it is a symbol that the citizen of the country is participating in the democratic process. According to PM Modi, one vote has the power to change the direction of the country. Therefore, every citizen should use his franchise wisely.
Appeal to celebrate becoming a voter for the first time
The Prime Minister especially emphasized on the youth becoming voters for the first time. He said that when a youth becomes a voter for the first time, it is an important moment in his life. This occasion should be celebrated with joy at home, locality or society, so that the youth realizes how important his role is for the country. He said that such small efforts strengthen the respect and connection for democracy among the youth.
Schools and colleges should play an important role
In the context of National Voters’ Day 2026, Prime Minister Modi also described the role of schools and colleges as important. He said that educational institutions lay the foundation of democratic values. If the importance of voting and civic responsibilities is explained to the youth from there, then democracy will become stronger. He suggested that educational institutions should play an active role in voter registration drives, so that no eligible youth is deprived of the right to vote.
India votes in every situation
The Prime Minister said that whether the citizens of India live in the mountains, on islands or in remote areas, they vote in every situation. This is the biggest strength of Indian democracy. He called it an inspiration for the coming generations.
Emphasis on women power and youth participation
PM Modi said that the role of women power and youth in strengthening democracy is continuously increasing. Especially the increasing participation of young women has further strengthened the democratic process. He appealed to the youth to actively participate in nation building by joining the MY Bharat platform.
