New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday addressed the 60th edition of his monthly radio broadcast 'Mann Ki Baat', where he said today's youth don't approve of casteism, nepotism and discrimination.

"Today, India has many expectations from young people. They will take the nation to great heights," he said

"One thing is certain. In the coming decade, young India will play a key role. Today's youth believes in the system and also has an opinion on a wide range of issues. I consider this to be a great thing. What today's youth dislikes is instability, chaos, nepotism," Modi said during his address.

He said youth is synonymous with energy and dynamism.

"Young people are filled with energy and dynamism and have the power to bring change. This decade will be the decade of young people. This generation plays a big role in developing the country," he said.

Modi also conveyed greetings for the new year and new decade.

The PM remembered the vision of Swami Vivekananda for the youth.

"Talking about Swami Vivekananda, we are marking 50 years since the setting up of the Vivekananda Rock Memorial in Kanyakumari. Our Honourable President visited the Rock Memorial a few days ago. I urge youngsters to visit the Rock Memorial in this year," said he.
