KOTA [RAJASTHAN]: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Sunday said it is the energy of the young minds which motivates the country to keep moving forward.

She also said the country now has a leadership that is not corrupt and works for the good of the people.

''It is so invigorating. I am so touched by the presence of such young brains. It does give a lot of motivation when you have such energy. It is that energy that keeps India going forward,'' Sitharaman said.

She was addressing a 'Yuva Shakti Samvad’ here.

The finance minister urged the youths to remember those who fought for the country as well as the armed forces who are standing tall to thwart any outside aggression.

To become a member in the league of developed nations, corruption-free leadership is important, she said.
