Union minister Jitendra Singh called on marginalized communities to explore entrepreneurship beyond government jobs, urging them to capitalize on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's schemes for sustainable growth. Launching the Jammu and Kashmir chapter of the Ambedkar Chamber of Commerce, Singh emphasized fostering an entrepreneurial mindset, especially among Scheduled Castes and weaker sections.
