New education policy prepares youth for new century: PM Modi
New Delhi/UNI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the new National Education Policy prepared the youth of India for the new century.
Addressing the Uttarakhand Rozgar Mela via video message, he highlighted that the day marks a new beginning for those who got their appointment letters and said it is not just a life-changing opportunity but a medium for holistic change.
The Prime Minister highlighted the constant endeavor of the central and Uttarakhand government that every youth gets new opportunities based on their interest while getting access to the right medium to move forward.
"The recruitment campaign in government services is also a step taken in this direction" he added.
The Prime Minister noted that lakhs of youth in the country have received their appointment letters from the central government in the last few months.
He informed that such recruitment campaigns are taking place all over the country in BJP-ruled states and union territories on a large scale.
"I am happy that today Uttarakhand is becoming a part of it," the Prime Minister said.
He said, "It is the constant endeavor of the central government that the youth of Uttarakhand return to their villages."
Highlighting the new employment and self-employment opportunities being created in the mountainous regions, Modi said the laying of new roads and rail lines is not only boosting connectivity but also creating many employment opportunities.
The Prime Minister underlined that the tourism sector in Uttarakhand is expanding as a result of far-flung areas being connected by road, rail and internet and said that new tourist places are coming up on the tourism map.
Due to this, the Prime Minister said, the youth of Uttarakhand are now getting the same employment opportunities near their homes instead of traveling to big cities.
The Prime Minister highlighted that the Mudra Yojana is playing a crucial role in boosting employment and self-employment opportunities in the tourism sector.
"38 crore Mudra loans have been given across the country so far. About 8 crore youth have become entrepreneurs for the first time," the Prime Minister said.
He also informed that the share of women and youth belonging to the SC/ST/OBC category is maximum.
