Form team of entrepreneurs to suggest reforms in banking: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Global Patidar Business Summit (GPBS), being organized by Sardardham, on Friday via video conferencing.

Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister said, “It is constant effort of the government that youth of the ordinary families can also become entrepreneurs and dream and take pride in entrepreneurship”

PM asked the business community to form a team of entrepreneurs and experts to suggest reforms in banking and other sectors and to point out the shortcomings.

“I urge you to form a team of entrepreneurs and experts to suggest shortcomings and reforms in banking and other sectors and how to change it,” said PM.

The Prime Minister said schemes like Mudra Yojna are giving strength to those people to get into business who never dreamed about doing so. Similarly, Start Up India is helping in realization of innovation, talent and dreams of Unicorn which appeared inaccessible earlier.

Modi said that every small and big business is contributing to the national progress and  this spirit of Sabka Prayas is becoming strength of the New India in the Amrit Kaal. He expressed happiness that the Summit this year is discussing this aspect in detail.

Modi called for a new outlook towards financial empires. He emphasized that it may be decided that industries can be based in small cities instead of big cities. He gave example of Jyotirgram Yojna which triggered industrial activities in villages. Now such work can be done for small town and cities, he said.
