NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today exhorted entrepreneurs to become soldiers of development and help India cut dependence on imports, while ensuring that it becomes a ‘less-cash’ economy.
Addressing over 200 CEOs and Startups here, he also asked them to work towards increasing agricultural exports and promoting tourism.
“Gandhiji made Independence a mass movement. Every Government has tried to take India forward. But development has not become a mass movement,” Modi said at ‘Champions of Change’, organised by Niti Aayog.
“In the same spirit as what Mahatma Gandhi did for the freedom struggle, we need to make India’s development a mass movement,” he added.
Calling upon the young entrepreneurs to become soldiers of development, Modi said that by working together “we can solve several problems the country faces”. (AGENCIES)
