Panaji: The Union Government will create a separate ministry for promoting entrepreneurship and skill development, as per Mr Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India.
“A separate ministry, which will look after promoting entrepreneurship and skill development, would be created. Even developed countries have accorded priority to promoting skilled manpower,” said Mr Modi while addressing a gathering of 150 special invitees.
About 65 per cent of the Indian population is under the age of 35 and promotion of skill and development will give job opportunities to unemployed youth in India as well as abroad, as per Mr Modi.
The Prime Minister said his Government was firm on applying austerity measures in an effort to bring down expenditure and enhance economic growth.
Mr Modi favoured inviting large-scale foreign direct investment (FDI) to revive growth. “Foreign countries are now keen to invest in India,” he said, adding that the country’s focus should be to give basic amenities to all citizens.
He said India will complete 75 years of independence in 2022, and to accomplish the dream and vision of the country’s freedom fighters, the Government will provide houses to all by that year with facilities like water, electricity and toilets.
As part of the celebrations to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi (in 2019), the Union Government will commence a nationwide cleanliness drive, said the Prime Minister.
“Our Government will fulfil the people’s aspirations and expectations. This is a nation of honest people,” he added.
