Day after 'forgive' remark, PM Modi praises youth for powering India's growth
Prime Minister Narendra Modi credited India's youth for driving the country's growth as the world's fastest-growing major economy.
Modi said young Indians are giving impetus to the development of the world, citing India's third-largest startup ecosystem and strengths in semiconductors, artificial intelligence, deep tech, and space.
He spoke at the inauguration of the Swami Vivekananda Cultural Youth Centre — Viveka Smaraka — at the Sri Ramakrishna Ashrama in Mysuru, Karnataka.
Modi highlighted the recent launch of a privately built Indian rocket as reflecting the growing capabilities of young innovators.
The remarks came a day after Modi offered to 'forgive' students who hurled expletives during protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) over the NEET-UG paper leak.
