"A 21st century voter must feel proud that his or her vote will be the foundation of 'New India'. The power of vote is the biggest in a democracy," he said.

Modi said, New India will be free from poison of casteism, communalism, terrorism and corruption.

"It will be free from dirt and poverty," said he.

"New voters are filled with energy and enthusiasm. With their skills and strength, they will take India to new heights of glory," said he.

Modi urged citizens to organise Mock Parliaments in every district of India.

He said, "New India needs to find ways, make plans regarding how we could accomplish our goals by 2022 and how we could build an India that our freedom fighters dreamt of? "

Modi said youth will be exposed to new opportunities.

"From skill development to innovation and entrepreneurship, our youth are excelling in every sector. It is now the time that a system is created where newest development opportunities are easily accessible for the 'New India Youth' as soon as they turn 18," said he.

This was Modi's final edition of Mann Ki Baat for 2017.
