Countries like US, Japan, China ageing, India getting younger: Swaraj
Deccan ChronicleVaranasi: Underlining that countries such as the US, Japan and China are ageing rapidly, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Monday said India is getting younger and this demographic perspective offers it an "unprecedented edge" that will help in building a "New Young India" by 2022. Swaraj, in her inaugural address at the Youth Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, said the Indian diaspora has dramatically changed the world's perception of Indians and our country. "While the Indian diaspora started migrating centuries ago, it is the migration of the educated, highly-skilled and dynamic young Indians that has brought laurels to India," she said, noting that many of the multi-national corporations are headed by young Indian-origin CEOs such as Sundar Pichai of Google and Satya Nadella of Microsoft. "Our diaspora has always championed Indian culture in faraway lands and contributed tremendously to India's success story," Rathore said on the occasion.
