“We all acknowledge the unwavering commitment and handwork of the youth of India behind India’s success as a global start-up hub. As India embarks on its auspicious journey of Amrit Kaal, it’s a moment to make new commitments. The young generation of Assam and India should serve as a robust connection between a splendid history and a magnificent future. The potential to succeed lies within you. You must have faith that you can accomplish anything. This self-assurance and ability to turn the impossible into possible remain significant for the youth of the nation, and it’s heartening to see that the youth of India comprehends this well,” he said.
