PRIME MINISTER NARENDRA MODI on Wednesday said that "capacity building and talent nurturing" are the founding stones of any country's future and necessary for creating jobs, and so, all stakeholders should invest more in these sectors. "This is needed for the country's economic success, and for any organisation's progress as well," Modi said, addressing a post-Budget webinar.

The PM termed the Budget for FY26 as "a blueprint of India's future". The vision of "investment in people" stands on three pillars — education, healthcare, and skill development, he said.

Modi highlighted that India's education system is undergoing transformation, and urged the industry and educational institutes to work together. "Youth should get a platform for practical learning. For this to happen, all stakeholders will have to come together," he said.
