New Delhi/Greater Noida: The youth of today
should become job creators and think out of the box, for which
the government is willing to hand-hold them for setting up
start-ups, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today.
He also said that while patience was a virtue, it should
not stop the youth from coming up with innovative ideas for
the benefit of the country and society.
Addressing the students of Gautam Buddha University in
Greater Noida on the occasion of the inauguration of the 22nd
National Youth Festival, Modi, via video-conferencing, said
one had to make the beginning alone and if the person was
committed to the path chosen, others would join him.
"Do not worry. Move ahead, take the first step. The
government is with you," he said, referring to those youth
planning to set up start-ups.
The prime minister assured them that they would not have
to worry abut bank guarantees, loans and a heavy paper work as
they would get all the help from the government.
"We will hand-hold you. Then, you yourself are capable of
moving ahead," he told the gathering.
Referring to the Centre's Mudra scheme, Skill India and
Startup India funds, Modi said there were enough platforms to
help young entrepreneurs think out of the box and begin
something new.
He also urged the people to make sports an integral part
of their lives.
Speaking on the occasion, Adityanath said only the youth
could change the system with new innovations.
He added that the Indian youth had several ideas, which
could be used for the welfare of the people.
Taking the name of Lord Rama and some religious leaders,
the Uttar Pradesh chief minister said all of them were young
when they chose the path of people's welfare and attained
spirituality.
"It is not important how long a person lives. How does he
live his life and benefit the society is important. The youth
is the symbol of the country's energy," he added.
Union minister and Gautam Buddha Nagar MP Mahesh Sharma
was also present on the occasion among other dignitaries.
