Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday reiterated the importance of nurturing the potential of India’s youth to propel the country forward.
Speaking at an event where he distributed 71,000 appointment letters to newly appointed recruits, the Prime Minister stressed that the responsibility for this lies within the nation’s education system.
PM Modi stated, “To take the country forward, it is essential to nurture the potential of youth talent. This responsibility lies with the country’s education system, which is why for decades, the nation has felt the need for a modern education system for the building of a New India. Through the National Education Policy, the country has now moved in that direction. Previously, due to various restrictions, the education system often became a burden on students, but now it is offering them new options.”
The Prime Minister also addressed the issue of language barriers that previously hindered youth from rural, Dalit, backward, and tribal communities.
“We introduced the policy of teaching in the mother tongue and conducting exams in the same. Today, our government is offering youth the option to take recruitment exams in 13 different languages. Today, special recruitment rallies are being organized for youth in border areas to provide them with permanent government jobs. In fact, over 50,000 youth have received appointment letters in the Central Armed Police Forces,” PM Modi further asserted.
PM Modi: Government Initiatives Creating Job Opportunities For Youth In Rural Areas
Additionally, PM Modi emphasized that the government’s initiatives are generating job opportunities in rural areas.
The Prime Minister noted, “A large number of youth have found jobs in the agricultural sector, allowing them to work in the fields they are passionate about. When the government set up hundreds of Gobar Gas plants across the country under the Gobardhan Yojana, it not only produced electricity but also created jobs for thousands of young people. Similarly, when the government began linking hundreds of agricultural markets to the e-NAM scheme, it created new employment opportunities for the youth. Moreover, when the government decided to increase ethanol blending to 20 percent, it helped farmers and also generated new job opportunities in the sugar sector.”
The Prime Minister also highlighted the government’s focus on women’s empowerment.
“Your success will inspire other women. Our effort is to make women self-reliant in every sector. The decision to provide 26 weeks of maternity leave has saved the careers of millions of daughters. Our government has worked to remove every barrier that prevented women from advancing. In many schools, the absence of separate toilets forced many girls to drop out. Through the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, we addressed this issue,” PM Modi said.
He further added, “Our government has opened Jan Dhan accounts for 30 crore women, which has ensured they directly benefit from government schemes. Through the ‘Mudra Yojana’, women now receive loans without any guarantees. Today, most of the houses under the ‘PM Awas Yojana’ are registered in the names of women.”
