Union Budget 2024 quotes from various business faternity

News Editor, Takmaa News, Kolkata, 3rd Feb 2024 : This year’s Union Budget presents a unique opportunity to prioritize the needs and aspirations of the youth and invest in their future. As we chart our course towards economic recovery and sustainable development, let us ensure that the voices and concerns of the youth are heard and addressed.First and foremost, we must focus on enhancing access to quality education and skills training for the youth. Education is the cornerstone of empowerment, and investing in education is investing in the future of our nation. We must allocate sufficient resources to improve educational infrastructure, infra for health, expand scholarship programs, and promote vocational training initiatives that equip young people with the skills needed to thrive in the 21st-century economy. One should value the views of experienced senior people  because they can influence the youths not only for placements but also influence them to develop their  own entrepreneur skills for startups.

The PM Mudra Yojana’s remarkable achievement of sanctioning 43 crore loans, amounting to ₹22.5 lakh crore, is a testament to the government’s unwavering commitment towards nurturing entrepreneurial ambitions among the youth of India. Coupled with supportive initiatives like Fund of Funds, Start Up India, and the Start Up Credit Guarantee schemes, these efforts are not just fueling the entrepreneurial spirit but also transforming young Indians into ‘rozgardatas’, the new job creators and innovators driving India’s economic and social growth. This declaration in the Union Budget is a clear indication that the government is keenly focused on empowering the youth, which is essential for the nation’s overall progress and prosperity.
It comes at a perfect time for us at Techno India Group as we start building the first and only Atal Incubation Center in West Bengal, under the AIM mission of Niti Aayog to boost entrepreneurship in the East.

Our unwavering commitment to this cause was further fortified through conversations with and support from some of India’s biggest entrepreneurs and policymakers during our New Age India sessions at the World Economic Forum in Davos this year, and our will has never been stronger to build an innovation mindset amongst the youth and create thousands of more jobs in “India’s Decade”.
