India will be the world’s biggest economy by 2047, said Dr Jitendra Singh. Since 2014, after PM Narendra Modi took over, esteem of Indian youth has risen globally, he added.
Dr. Jitendra Singh was addressing the “Youth Connect” programme at Aryabhatta Auditorium of Ranchi University.
He emphasized the role of youth in the building of a developed India, for which the current central government is fully committed to provide necessary facilities.
Dr. Jitendra Singh stated that since 2014, the situation of India on the global stage has changed dramatically due to the hard work and visionary programs of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He noted that before 2014, Indians were hesitant to identify themselves abroad, whereas now they feel proud. By citing several visionary plans and statistics, he highlighted the hard work put in by Prime Minister Narendra Modi based on courage, dedication, and innovative strategies to bring about this positive change.
He urged the youth to take full advantage of this changed environment and prepare themselves for a developed India, so their roles can be more impactful.
Dr. Jitendra Singh mentioned that the Prime Minister has abolished outdated 2,000 regulations, which has provided more convenience for youth in their future endeavors.
He also referred to the changes made in the space policy by the Central Government over the past three years, stating that in just three years, the number of startups has increased from about nine to three hundred. He explained how the Central Government effectively utilized technology not only to assist people during the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic but also in improving their conditions thereafter.
He said that the situation today has vastly improved in comparison from 2014, when India was viewed as among the top five fragile economies of the world, whereas today it is viewed as the top five strong economies of the world.
Dr Jitendra Singh said that the Prime Minister has scrapped nearly 2000 obsolete rules and regulations so that youth do not face much hassles in their endeavour for a better future.
