New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday urged industry and start-ups to focus on quality and resolve to make excellence a benchmark in manufacturing.
In his monthly ‘Mann ki Baat’ address, Modi said Indian products should be synonymous with top quality and urged the industry to manufacture zero-defect products. “Let us resolve to improve the quality of whatever we manufacture. Be it our textiles, technology, electronics, or even packaging, an Indian product should become synonymous with ‘top quality’,” the prime minister said in his 130th Mann ki Baat address.
He also lauded the efforts of the youngsters, who participated enthusiastically in India’s start-up journey that began 10 years ago in 2016.
“Today India has turned into the third-largest startup ecosystem in the world. These start-ups are out of the box; they are working in sectors that were unimaginable even 10 years ago,” Modi said.
The prime minister said Indian start-ups are working in sectors as diverse as AI, space, nuclear energy, semiconductors, mobility, green hydrogen, and biotechnology.
“You name it, and you’ll find one Indian startup or the other working in that sector. I salute all my young friends who are associated with one startup or the other or want to start one of their own,” he said.
The prime minister also greeted the nation on National Voters Day and Republic Day.
