'New Culture of Self-Employment, Entrepreneurship in India': PM Modi

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hailed the growing culture of self-employment and entrepreneurship in the country, noting the involvement of a large number of youth from tier-1 and tier-2 cities, and women.

He affirmed that the change is visible in the country's tier-1 and tier-2 cities and not just the big cities. "In the last few years, a new culture of self-employment and entrepreneurship has developed in the country. India is the 3rd-largest startup ecosystem in the world. There are over 2,30,000 recognised startups in the country... this change is not limited to big cities. These days, a large number of young people from tier-2 and tier-2 cities are also demonstrating their strength... The role of women's power is also continuously increasing in this change," he said.

'Youth's Spirit Should Reflect in Public Service'

He further asserted that India's youth are making a significant mark across every global field, noting that their vibrant spirit and dynamic energy must now be deeply integrated into the nation's public services. "Today, India's youth are making their mark in every field of the world. This same spirit, this same energy should be reflected in public service as well. India will be developed through the efforts of such youth, who consider their work a means of serving the nation and the people... I am fully confident that the youth who received their appointment letters today will give new impetus to India's development journey," he said.
