Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Friday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership as the NDA government completed 11 years in office, highlighting key initiatives aimed at empowering the youth.
Taking to social media platform X, CM Dhami credited the Modi-led central government for launching transformative schemes that have made India’s youth more self-reliant and globally competitive.
“In the last 11 years, under the leadership of the respected Prime Minister Shri @narendramodiji, historic steps have been taken to make the youth self-reliant and capable. Schemes like Startup India, Digital India, Skill India, National Education Policy and Make in India have not only provided employment opportunities to the youth but have also moved them forward in the direction of becoming job creators. Today, the youth of India is making its mark not only in the country but also on the global stage, so the credit for this goes to the visionary thinking of the Honourable Prime Minister,” Dhami wrote in his post.
He further noted that the Uttarakhand government, inspired by the Centre’s initiatives, had rolled out various schemes to promote youth welfare and self-reliance within the state.
“Following the footsteps of the Central Government, our government has done unprecedented work towards youth welfare. Record number of recruitments in government jobs and various schemes like Mukhyamantri Swarojgar Yojana, Mukhyamantri Medhavi Chhatra Protsahan Scholarship Scheme have paved the way for the youth of the state to become self-reliant,” the post further read.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi also shared a message on X, emphasizing the government's consistent efforts to strengthen the role of youth in nation-building. He underlined the importance of education reform and entrepreneurship in shaping the future of a developed India.
“In the last 11 years, our government has made continuous efforts to empower the youth. With the new education policy and focus on skill development and start-ups, our youth have become important partners in the resolution of 'Developed India'. It is a matter of great happiness for us that today the youth of the country is playing a leading role in nation building,” PM Modi stated.
To mark the 11-year milestone of governance under Prime Minister Modi, the central government also released an ebook showcasing major achievements during this period.
