Here is all about CM Revanth Reddy's ‘Young India' mission inspired from Gandhi
At a state-of-the-art skilling facility South of Hyderabad, picture a bunch of fresh engineering graduates learning the nuances of autotronics from seasoned engineers of Mahindra Group. Imagine a group of newly graduated nurses completing a 3-month finishing-skills course offered by the best of professionals from Apollo Hospitals. At the end of the course, Mahindra and Apollo would pick them all and glowing careers would follow. Would you believe, all of this is being made possible from a government-established institute called the Young India Skills University (YISU) in Telangana. According to the former journalist P Anvesh Reddy, Job-readiness, or the lack of it, among fresh graduates, is at the core of the idea behind the Revanth Reddy-led Government of Telangana's launch of YISU in August 2024. Behind the thought of YISU is the Telangana Chief Minister's decision to echo Mahatma Gandhi's views on the inherent value of college degrees. Over a century ago, Mahatma Gandhi in his weekly journal Young India, wrote, "An academic grasp without practice behind it is like an embalmed corpse, perhaps lovely to look at but nothing to inspire or ennoble." Indian politicians rarely speak about having an under-skilled young population. Revanth Reddy acknowledged the elephant in the room. Sadly, for as large a population as India's, Gandhi's words still hold true as an overwhelming section of today's graduates do not possess industry-standard skills. Gandhi's idea of 'Young India' reflects "the voice of India" and hence, the underlying problem of education in India -- 'academic grasp without practice' – needs to be addressed. More so in an AI-era. Revanth Reddy, who swore-in as Telangana's Chief Minister in December 2023, was quick to sense this. Within months, he pooled in industrialists of the likes of Anand Mahindra of Mahindra Group, Sanjeev Bikhchandani of Info Edge, and Suchitra Ella of Bharat Biotech, to bejewel YISU's Board of Governors. Anand Mahindra was appointed as the chairman of YISU. He had even agreed to adopt the University's automotive department. The Chief Minister appealed to the industrialists to become partners in YISU. A permanent campus for YISU is being built in the upcoming Bharat Future City, an ambitious net zero city project touted to become the next growth engine for Hyderabad. Brand 'Young India' The Skills University was named with the iconic prefix 'Young India'. The idea is not just to do poetic justice. The idea is to do real justice to the young Indians, by matching their skillsets with market needs through a self-reliant institution -- with zero government intervention. YISU's success would naturally trigger replication elsewhere in India. In the 1980s, Telangana's (erstwhile Andhra Pradesh) reforms in education were replicated as a model for India, especially with the launch of the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). India's first Open University, the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University, Hyderabad, pioneered distance education with print, radio, and study centres. Its success proved the feasibility and impact of open learning in India. IGNOU went on to become the world's largest university in terms of student enrolment. Since Bhavanam Venkatarami Reddy in 1982, Revanth Reddy is the first Chief Minister in united Andhra Pradesh's history to serve as the State's full-time education minister. He has plans for revolutionary educational reforms. This is an exception not just in Telangana or Andhra Pradesh, but also in Indian politics of recent past. Telangana is building ultra-modern social welfare residential schools called Young India Integrated Residential Schools in all the 119 Assembly constituencies, with Rs 200 crore allocated for each school campus. Also, the Young India Police School was launched exclusively for the children of police personnel, while the Young India Sports University is being set up with a vision to produce future Olympians. While India could likely become the world's third largest economy in the coming years, unemployment continues to be a burning issue. And Gandhi's idea of 'Young India' could take today's young Indians a long way in such pursuit.

Amid IMF's enhanced growth projection, three caveats can't be ignored
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised India's economic growth forecast upwards, reinforcing the country's status as a leading performer among major global economies. IMF's latest World Economic Outlook (WEO), released on July 29, points out that India is now expected to grow at 6.4 per cent in both 2025-26 and 2026-27, marking an increase of 0.2 and 0.1 percentage points, respectively, over the April projections. This upgrade mirrors a broader, albeit modest, improvement in its global growth forecast. As per the updated assessment, the IMF now anticipates global GDP to expand by three per cent in 2025 and 3.1 per cent in 2026—both figures slightly higher than those projected just three months ago. It has also raised its expectations for emerging market and developing economies, which are now projected to grow by 4.1 per cent, up from 3.7 per cent, a revision largely driven by improved prospects for China, the world's second-largest economy. The IMF attributes India's stronger outlook to a 'more benign external environment' than was assumed in its April forecast. While the report stops short of listing specifics, the phrase suggests a combination of factors: easing inflationary pressures in advanced economies, stable commodity prices, and continued global demand for goods and services—all of which are expected to provide a more favourable backdrop for India's growth. India's resilient performance continues to stand out. Even amid geopolitical volatility and uneven global recovery patterns, the country has maintained a robust growth trajectory, supported by public capital expenditure, an expanding services sector, and digital infrastructure gains. The IMF's revision reflects this resilience, though the path ahead may still be complicated by emerging external and domestic challenges. Meanwhile, three key caveats deserve closer scrutiny. First, US President Donald Trump's 25 per cent tariffs on goods imported from India, 'plus an unspecified penalty' for buying Russian oil and weapons, pose a major risk to India's growth rate, apart from straining bilateral ties between India and the United States, which have been steadily improving in the last few years. The new tariffs on certain imports could create headwinds for Indian exporters. Second, how India responds to these US moves will significantly influence its medium and long-term economic prospects. Whether New Delhi chooses a retaliatory stance or seeks a diplomatic compromise could affect investor perceptions, trade flows, and diplomatic goodwill. India's choices in navigating this delicate phase of economic diplomacy will be watched closely, not only in Washington but also in global markets. Third, and most crucially, the sustainability of India's growth momentum will depend on how the Narendra Modi government implements its domestic economic policies. While headline growth figures remain robust, challenges such as sluggish private investment, labour market rigidities, and regional disparities persist. Economic ministers and other senior government functionaries wax eloquent about liberalisation and the ease of doing business, but executing reforms in letter and spirit will make all the difference. Trump's tough stance can be a blessing in disguise if it forces India's decision makers to focus on effective policy execution. The IMF's upgraded forecast underscores India's strong economic fundamentals and its continued attractiveness as an investment destination. However, this positive outlook is tempered by emerging global risks and internal policy variables. Navigating these will be crucial to maintaining India's position as a bright spot.
