The prime minister appealed people to think about their contribution to the country. “We are always thinking about where the nation will reach through our work,” PM added.
Modi met 200 young CEOs to share ideas on policies across sectors with a view to promote private investment and create jobs. “Every citizen must have a feeling that this country is mine & I have to work for the country, I want to add something towards its growth,” PM Modi said. Modi cited how Gandhi ji made every person feel his responsibility towards nations freedom. “Every person wanted India to be free but Gandhi ji did something unique- he made every person feel he or she is working for the nation,” PM Modi said. “Mahatma Gandhi turned the freedom struggle into a mass movement and we saw the results,” PM added.
