Empowering the Youth: India’s Strategy for Growth

Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the BJP-led NDA government's initiatives for empowering youth, including employment opportunities via Rozgar Melas and international investment partnerships. More than 11 lakh recruitment letters have been issued, complemented by the Pratibha Setu Portal, fostering private and public sector engagement with skilled candidates.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the government's commitment to youth empowerment during the 17th Rozgar Mela, where over 51,000 candidates received government job appointments. He emphasized the NDA government's efforts through international investments and the launch of the 'Pratibha Setu Portal' to connect skilled youth with job opportunities.

PM Modi stated that India's foreign policy is youth-oriented, focusing on training and employment. Collaborations with countries like Brazil, Singapore, South Korea, and Canada aim to boost entrepreneurship and investment, creating new job prospects for the youth and enhancing exports.

The Prime Minister also discussed GST reforms, noting how they have revitalized the economy and increased employment opportunities. The reduced GST rates have led to higher demand and production, mirroring the employment boom observed during Dhanteras and Diwali, especially in MSMEs, logistics, and manufacturing sectors.
