New Delhi, February 21:
Empowering today’s ‘gen next’ means empowerment of India’s future, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday, as he addressed a webinar on education sector-related announcements made in the Union Budget, which was presented by Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on February 1.
Elaborating this statement, he said this is because youngsters are the future leaders of the country, as well ones who will build its future.
PM Modi also listed five areas within the education sector on which emphasis was laid in the Union Budget. “The first is universalisation of quality education. This means that major decision have been taken for the expansion of the education system, to improve its quality and capability,” he said.
