NEW DELHI — Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit North Campus’s prestigious Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) on September 5, coinciding with Teachers’ Day, to address the institution’s historic centenary celebrations and launch a major direct engagement initiative with Gen Z students.
The milestone event marks 100 years since the premier institution was founded in 1926. Beyond the ceremonial commemoration, the visit serves as the anchor point for a broader youth outreach campaign targeting India’s next generation of voters.
Direct Engagement with Gen Z
The highlight of the Prime Minister’s address will be an interactive town-hall style dialogue structured specifically around the aspirations, concerns, and policy priorities of young Indians.
-
Focus Areas: Direct discussions will center on higher education reforms, employment landscapes, startup entrepreneurship, emerging technology, and global innovation.
-
Policy Context: The session aligns with the Ruling Party’s newly constituted youth task force—a strategic committee of senior leadership and young representatives designed to build sustained, non-conventional communication channels with Gen Z voters.
100 Years of Academic Excellence
Founded by industrialist Lala Shri Ram in 1926, SRCC has grown into one of Asia’s premier institutes for Commerce, Economics, and Management.
The institution’s centenary places it alongside a select group of Indian educational pillars celebrating a century of academic delivery. Prime Minister Modi’s return to SRCC—where he previously delivered the Shri Ram Keynote Oration in 2013—underscores the institution’s central role in shaping national economic and business policy leadership.
The Road Ahead
The Prime Minister’s engagement at SRCC signals an intensified political and administrative focus on aligning national policymaking with the expectations of first-time voters. As the government continues pushing structural reforms in higher education, technology, and economic governance, September 5 will provide a clear baseline for how New Delhi plans to bridge policy execution with Gen Z priorities.
