Hold-Every Indian need to own dream of New India: Modi

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Every one of the 1.25 billion Indians will have to own the dream of New India so that it becomes a success by 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday.

Addressing a gathering of entrepreneurs at the “Champions of Change” conclave organised by the NITI Aayog, he said the government cannot afford to live under the false impression that it can run a big country like India without active contribution of its people.”In our country, government may create a system but development is fuelled by efforts and sacrifices made by its people.

“I do not think that we can build New India merely through government schemes. Till the time 1.25 billion countrymen make the resolve, and have their job cut out for themselves to contribute towards New India, this dream will remain unfulfilled,” Modi said.

Earlier, the Prime Minister interacted with 200 young entrepreneurs and listened to their ideas. Six groups of young entrepreneurs made presentations before Modi on themes such as ‘Soft Power: Incredible India 2.0’; ‘Education and Skill Development’; ‘Health and Nutrition’; ‘Energizing a Sustainable Tomorrow’; ‘Digital India’ and ‘New India by 2022’.
