Union Commerce and Industry Minister and North Mumbai MP Piyush Goyal took part in Navratri celebrations in Borivali, Kandivali and Malad on Friday, October 16. Speaking to devotees and young people there, he said that young people who take pride in their culture and also dream of progress are the true face of today's India.
Goyal said, "This is the real India, and this is the country's real young generation and Gen Z. These young people are proud of their culture." According to him, these young people are connected to their roots and are determined to take the country forward.
He said, "This generation will speed up our economic progress, carry out new research and create new employment opportunities. I am very happy to see our young people celebrating traditions with such enthusiasm. I am confident that this younger generation will lead India towards a bright future and fulfil the dream of a developed India."
Goyal also said that some people with a narrow and partisan agenda try to present themselves as representatives of the youth. According to him, the positive thinking and aspirations of the entire young generation should not be judged by looking at such people.
The minister said the country's young people are full of positive energy. He said, "Some people in Delhi consider themselves the power of youth, but the real power of youth is in front of me today. May Goddess Durga bless all of you and your families. Work with complete dedication so that India can become a superpower. Together, we will take India to new heights."
According to Goyal, cultural identity and modern ambition can go hand in hand. He said the generation that draws confidence from the heritage of its civilisation and embraces innovation, entrepreneurship and global leadership will strengthen the journey to making India a developed nation.
Devotees and young people took part in the North Mumbai Navratri celebrations with great enthusiasm. The traditional festivities gave people a chance to come together and celebrate the country's cultural heritage.
Along with attending the Navratri events, Goyal inaugurated Ambe Mata Chowk in Borivali East. He reiterated his commitment to making North Mumbai more beautiful, cleaner and more liveable.
Speaking on his resolve to make "Uttar Mumbai se Uttam Mumbai", he said development should be directly visible in people's daily lives. He laid particular emphasis on providing job opportunities for young people and better public spaces for families.
Goyal said skill development centres will be built to train young people in practical skills and prepare them for future employment. Facilitation centres will be made more capable for the convenience of the public. Parks will be beautified to give people clean, green and easily accessible spaces.
Goyal said three things, the energy of the youth, the country's cultural confidence and sustained efforts for development, will make India more capable, prosperous and influential in the world.
He said, "Culturally confident young people are the foundation of a confident India. When our youth take pride in their heritage and put their energy into innovation, entrepreneurship and nation-building, nothing is impossible for India."
