The state government deserves praise for the recruitment of about 50 thousand teachers in the state in the last three years.

Minister Tribal Affairs Department Meena Singh and Minister of State for School Education Inder Singh Parmar attended the programme.
Modi said that the newly appointed teachers are going to fulfill the crucial responsibility of implementing the National Education Policy. The National Education Policy has an effective contribution in fulfilling the resolution of a developed India. In this, equal importance has been given from traditional knowledge to future technology. A new curriculum has also been prepared in the field of primary education. Special efforts have been made regarding education in mother tongue. In order to ensure social justice, arrangements have been made for students who do not know English to study in their mother tongue. There is an emphasis on books in regional languages in the curriculum. This will become the basis of a big change in the education system of the country.
Congratulating the newly appointed teachers, Prime Minister Modi said that all of you have reached here through hard work, you should continue with the tendency to keep learning. The government has prepared the online learning platform IGOT Karmayougi. Teachers should try to take maximum advantage of this facility.

PM Vishwakarma Yojana was announced on this 15th August. PM Vishwakarma Yojana has been formulated to hone the traditional skills of our Vishwakarmas Charioteers i.e. craftsmen according to the needs of the 21st century. About 13 thousand crore rupees will be spent on this. Every kind of assistance will be given to the families associated with 18 different types of skills, so that the youths will get opportunities to enhance their skills.
The Prime Minister said that when decisions are taken with positive thinking, right intention, full devotion, the whole atmosphere is filled with positivity. Two very positive news have come in the very first year of Amritkal. According to the report of NITI Aayog, 13.5 crore Indians have come above the poverty line within 5 years. The number of income tax returns to be filed this year is also giving another important indication.

The trust of the citizens of the country on their government is continuously increasing. The citizens of the country are coming forward to pay their taxes honestly. The economy, which was at number 10 in the world before the year 2014, has reached at number five today. Along with boosting our enthusiasm, these figures assure that every sector of the country is getting strengthened.
