PM Modi Highlights Youth-Focused Outcomes of India’s International Partnerships
PM Modi links global partnerships with youth jobs and growth.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said India’s international partnerships are “purposefully structured” to serve the country’s youth, emphasising that global cooperation is increasingly focused on creating employment opportunities and expanding technological exposure for young Indians. He made the remarks while virtually distributing appointment letters to more than 51,000 recruits under the government’s nationwide ‘Rozgar Mela’ initiative.
Addressing the new appointees, the Prime Minister said India’s youth will play a central role in achieving the vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047. He highlighted that each international agreement signed by India is designed to directly or indirectly contribute to job creation, skill development and greater global participation for young professionals across sectors such as technology, manufacturing and services.
Sharing reflections from his recent five-nation tour, Modi said leaders of global corporations across multiple countries had expressed strong enthusiasm about India’s growing youth talent pool and rapid technological progress. He stated that the world increasingly wants to be part of India’s development journey, adding that India’s diplomatic and economic engagements are aligned with national employment priorities.
