Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India is not becoming a nation of job creators, in his ‘Man Ki Baat’ while applauding the recent surge in startups in the country.
“This is the turning point of India’s growth story, where people are now not only dreaming of becoming job seekers but also becoming job creators. This will further strengthen India’s stature on the global stage,” the Prime Minister said.
“These days, all we hear about from every corner is about Start-up, Start-up, Start-up. It is true, this is the era of start-up, and it is also true that in the world of start-up, India is leading in a way in the world today. Start-ups are getting record investments year after year. This sector is progressing very fast,” he said while appreciating the efforts made by the young generation.
There are more than 70 start-ups that have crossed the valuation of more than 1 billion. Friends, due to the success of Start-Ups, everyone has noticed them and the way they are getting support from investors from all over the country and abroad. Perhaps, just a few years ago no one could have imagined this happening, the Prime Minister said.
The Prime Minister also asked people to be more cautious on Covid 19 front. He warned, “Don’t forget that Corona has not gone yet. It is the responsibility of all of us to take precautions”. He further appealed to safeguard the environment, hailed the community efforts in rejuvenating rivers, planting trees and preventing soil erosion.
