Millions of jobs will begenerated: Modi

Prime Pune Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said the Union Budget 2024-25 will scale up education and skill development of the youth, boost manufacturing and infrastructure development and lead to millions of jobs and self-employment opportunities.

In a televised address, broadcast an hour and a half after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Budget in the Lok Sabha, the PM noted the success of his government's production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme and its commitment to creating employment and self-employment opportunities.

He said that the employmentlinked incentive (ELI) scheme, which the FM announced on Tuesday, will create millions of jobs.

"Under the scheme, the first salary of the first job of a youth will be borne by the government," Modi said.
