Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday called on all stakeholders to unite and invest in people through skill development, talent cultivation, and innovation—key drivers of job creation and economic growth.

Speaking at a post-budget webinar on boosting job creation, the Prime Minister said this year's Union budget embodies the vision of investing in people on a large scale, serving as a blueprint for India's future, with investments prioritized across infrastructure, industries, people, the economy, and innovation.

The Prime Minister said capacity building and talent nurturing are key to national progress, urging stakeholders to step up investments in these areas, calling them crucial for economic success and organizational growth.

"The vision of investing in people stands on three pillars: education, skill, and healthcare," Modi said, adding that India's education system is undergoing a significant transformation after several decades.
