PM Modi highlights govt’s focus on generating employment
NEW DELHI, Jul 12 (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday emphasised his government’s focus on generating employment in the public and private sectors, asserting that the country has progressed in every field in the past 11 years.
In a virtual address after the distribution of over 51,000 appointment letters, he said his government’s welfare schemes, be it building over 4 crore houses for the poor, distributing over 10 crore new LPG connections or the rooftop solar programme, have created lakhs of new employment opportunities.
Noting that over 25 crore people were lifted out of poverty in the past 10 years, the prime minister said it would not have happened but for the employment and sources of income generated for them.
