Start-up India’ Action Plan to be Unveiled on January 16: Prime Minister
New Delhi: Seeking to boost entrepreneurship at the grass roots level, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said an action plan of the ‘Start-up India, Stand-up India’ initiative will be unveiled on January 16 and urged the states to help spread this campaign across the country’s nook and corner.
PM Modi, who had made the announcement about the campaign in his last Independence Day address, said the programme will be designed to suit Indian conditions and focus would be on ensuring benefits for the youth from the lowest strata of the society.
“My dear young friends, in my August 15 address from the Red Fort, I had made preliminary mention about ‘Start-up India, Stand-up India’. After that, this spread to all the departments of the government.”
“Can India be a ‘Start-up Capital’? Can the youth in the states have the opportunities in the form of start-ups, with innovations, whether it be manufacturing, service sector or agriculture? In everything, there should be freshness, new ways, new thinking. The world cannot move ahead without innovation,” he said in his monthly radio programme – Mann Ki Baat’, the last one for this year.
