World is your oyster, make more unicorns: PM Modi to youth
Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted on Saturday that the country is heading towards becoming a developed nation in the next 25 years and appealed to the youth to be active participants in this journey. The world is your oyster, he said, and encouraged the young to undertake nine tasks for welfare of the poor and protection of the environment.
Addressing students and alumni of the Scindia School in Gwalior on the 125th foundation day of the institution, the prime minister said when he took over in 2014 he could have drawn plans for the short term of a decade but chose to work for the growth of the country in the coming decades.
Several issues which had been pending for four decades or more were resolved during his tenure. He named the abrogation of Article 370, implementation of Goods and Services Tax, banning triple talaq and passage of the Women’s Reservation Bill as some of the prominent ones.
“If my government did not take these decisions the burden would have fallen on your generation.
I have lightened your burden to some extent… We have created an environment where there is no dearth of opportunities for you. Win big and achieve big,” Modi said to the students.
He underlined that his government has set a milestone of making the country a developed nation by the time it completes 100 years of Independence.
The young generation has to achieve this and they should not be complacent at any point from “pledge to fruition” of this aim.
He mentioned the landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the moon on August 23 and the G20 summit in India among two recent achievements. The country is setting new records and is the fastest growing large economy in the world, Modi said, adding that it is also number one in real time digital
