“India is an Old country but a young nation…I am young and I too have a dream, I dream of India Strong, Independent, Self-Reliant and in the front rank of the nations of the world

When it comes to the term Youth Icon, I cannot think of a better person to award the title to than the late Rajiv Gandhi. Rajiv was our 7th Prime Minister from 1984 to 1989 and his life, his ideas, and his deeds, remain an inspiration to youngsters even today. More than anyone else in modern Indian history, RajivGandhi is personally responsible for empowering youth in transformative ways.
