Maharashtra: Piyush Goyal attends Vaishnav Samaj event at Kora Kendra in Borivali
Mumbai, June 6
Union Minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday attended a Vaishnav Samaj event at Kora Kendra in Borivali, praising the community's efforts to preserve India's heritage and faith.
He said a strong connection to heritage and religion will help India achieve greater development and ensure the legacy is passed on to future generations.
Speaking to ANI, Goyal said, "...I offer my gratitude and salutations to Chhote Baba and all the distinguished guests for the community's continuous efforts to preserve India's heritage and faith, and to ensure this legacy is passed on to the next generation... No power in the world can stop India from becoming a developed nation."
"As long as our heritage remains strong, our faith remains steadfast, and our children stay connected to their religion and beliefs, India will scale new heights," he said.
Earlier in the day, Goyal inaugurated the L'Oreal Training Centre, the Apna AI-enabled Training and Placement Centre, and a Mid-Day Meal initiative supported by Malabar Group at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Skill Development Centre in Uttar Mumbai.
Addressing trainees, industry leaders and representatives of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Goyal said that India's transformation into a developed nation by 2047 will be powered by the aspirations, positivity, skills and determination of its youth.
"India's youth are the symbol of positive thinking and positive energy. It is this optimism and confidence that will take our country to greater heights and help build a Viksit Bharat," Goyal said.
Highlighting India's strong economic momentum, Goyal noted that India continues to be the world's fastest-growing major economy and said that the country's future growth would be driven by technology, talent, innovation and skilled human capital.
"We have the technology strength, the talent pool, the STEM graduates and the entrepreneurial spirit needed to power the future. Our youth are India's collective strength and collective conscience," he said.

While I appreciate the cultural angle, I wish more time was spent on concrete development targets rather than just speeches about heritage. Mumbai needs better infrastructure, not just more events. 🤔
Great to see the Vaishnav Samaj being recognized! These community groups do so much for preserving our traditions and helping the needy. Combined with skill development, this is the kind of holistic approach we need. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
What's the actual progress on these skill centres? We keep hearing about inaugurations but need to see real outcomes. Also, hope the mid-day meal initiative is properly monitored - food quality matters most for our children.
As a Borivali resident, I'm happy to see development initiatives in our area. The L'Oreal training centre could be a game-changer for local women. But please also fix our roads and water supply! 😅
The vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047 sounds promising, but it starts with small steps like these community events. Heritage + skills = strong foundation. Just hope the execution matches the rhetoric.
