US President Barack Obama town hall meeting with young Indians at south Delhi's Siri Fort Auditorium is set to begin.

During the address, Obama is expected to stress on the shared values of the world's largest democracies and speak on how to tap the energy of the people of India and the US, and to turn that into positive progress on the issues that matter in people's lives.

"The President will want to speak to how do we tap into the energy and the support in both countries for the relationship and turn that into positive progress on the issues that matter in people's lives.

"When you look at energy, counter-terrorism, defence cooperation, efforts to create economic growth, these are things that have a direct bearing on the well-being of US and Indian citizens," Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes had said last week.
