Technology and innovation should be harnessed to transform governance, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said here on Thursday, pointing out that there was an ‘app’ for filling every gap.
Interacting with young entrepreneurs at the ‘Champions for Change’ initiative organised by the NITI Aayog at the Pravasi Bharatiya Kendra in the Capital, the Prime Minister said decentralised structures were important to nurture the rural economy, and highlighted the role of start-ups in catalysing transformation and help build a ‘New India’.
On the occasion, six groups of young entrepreneurs made presentations before the Prime Minister 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, as per an official release.
Appreciating the ideas and innovations in the presentations made by the entrepreneurs, the Prime Minister said the “Champions for Change” initiative would be taken forward and institutionalised “in the best possible way.” “One possibility could be to associate the groups that made presentations today, with the respective departments and Ministries in the Union Government,” he said. The Prime Minister also said that his vision of a ‘New India’ could only be built through the efforts of crores of ordinary citizens, and called upon young entrepreneurs to join in this effort
