India among top-3 economies will mean jobs, higher incomes: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said India will be among the top three economies of the world during the current decade itself, and this will expand its every sector several times and create unlimited employment opportunities for youth.

He was speaking after distributing more than 51,000 appointment letters to newly inducted recruits at a Rozgar Mela, via video conferencing. The Rozgar Mela was held at 45 locations across the country.

The newly appointed recruits joined various police forces under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA, like the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Border Security Force (BSF), Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), Assam Rifles, Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), and Delhi Police.

The Prime Minister said India is currently the fastest growing economy in the world. People must be wondering how this will benefit the common man. It should be known the growth of the economy at a fast pace has brought unexpected transformation in various sectors of the economy, he said.

The pharma industry had played an important role during the pandemic, he said. Today, it is worth about Rs 4 lakh crore and it is estimated that by 2030, the industry will be worth approximately Rs 10 lakh crore. This growth means the industry will need more youth in the coming years, creating opportunities for employment.
