Nara Lokesh gets global recognition

Vijayawada: In a remarkable recognition, IT minister Nara Lokesh has been named one of the 100 most influential young persons in the government in the world. Every year, Apolitical, a London-based global policy platform announces the names of the 100 most influential young people in governments. 

Mr Lokesh stood among the top 20 in the list. Drawing on hundreds of nominations from experts and leading organisations, the list recognises people in the field of government and policy who have made a mark early in their careers. Everyone in the list is aged 35 or below.

“Absolutely honoured to be included in the top 20 of Apolitical’s 2018 list of “100 Future Leaders: The World’s Most Influential Young People in Government.” 
Heartfelt thanks to Apolitical!!,” Mr Lokesh tweeted after the list was officially out on Thursday. Significantly, Mr Lokesh is the only Indian to be part of the top 20 in the list.
