EU FTA to benefit lakhs of Indian youth: PM Modi
A day after India inked a landmark deal with the European Union (EU), Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said this “historic” agreement and free trade agreements (FTA), which the country has signed with several countries, will open countless opportunities for lakhs of Indian youths.
The PM was speaking at the annual National Cadet Corps(NCC)PM Rally at Delhi Cantonment.
Underlining the role of youth, the PM said the entire world is looking at India’s youth with a “lot of trust” and the reason behind that trust is “skill and sanskar (culture)”.
“One example you saw yesterday only. India and the EU agreed upon a historic free trade agreement. Before this, India has done FTAs with Oman, New Zealand, Britain, the UAE, Australia, and countries like Mauritius. All these agreements are going to open countless opportunities for lakhs of our youths,” the PM said.
In his address, the prime minister also said the NCC, as an organisation and as a movement, fills India’s youth power with “self-confidence” and makes them disciplined and sensitive citizens who are dedicated to the nation.
The theme of the NCC PM Rally was Rashtra Pratham — Kartavya Nishth Yuva, reflecting the spirit of duty, discipline and national commitment among India’s youth.
