Digital opportunities opening up for youth under PM Modi: Delhi CM

Delhi CM Rekha Gupta tells NSUT graduates that PM Modi's Digital India and startup push have opened new doors for the youth to build a self-reliant nation.

"The engineering students graduating today will determine the direction in which Bharat will move in the coming years. - Delhi CM Rekha Gupta"

New Delhi, Dec 13

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country has opened new doors of opportunity for the youth through Digital India, self-reliance and the startup culture, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said on Saturday.

Speaking at the convocation ceremony of Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT) held at Yashobhoomi, CM Gupta said, “The engineering students graduating today will determine the direction in which Bharat will move in the coming years.”

She said each one of you can contribute to the future of Bharat just like PM Modi did after assuming office.

“There was a time when people were struggling over small issues. When PM Modi came to the helm, he changed the shape of the digital domain, and today phones have become the common man’s asset,” she said, adding that every sector is moving ahead simultaneously under PM Modi.

Stressing innovation, she said, “Wherever you work, let national interest, innovation, and responsibility be your top priorities. It is through your participation that the path to a self-reliant, strong, and developed India will be paved.”

She said Delhi is facing several challenges and engineering graduates have to use innovation to offer solutions in a range of domains, including pollution, infrastructure and green energy.

“The engineering graduates passing out from this institute, I hope, will address the multiple challenges and meet the infrastructural needs,” she said.

In a post on X, the Chief Minister said, “Today, I had the privilege of joining the Lieutenant Governor Shri Vinay Kumar Saxena ji at the third convocation ceremony of Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT) held at Yashobhoomi.”

“Congratulations to all the young graduates and best wishes for a bright future. Netaji Subhas University of Technology is a laboratory for innovation, leadership, and nation-building. It is our expectation and belief that the youth emerging from here will play a decisive role in the nation's progress through their talent and hard work,” she said.

The Chief Minister said that under the leadership of PM Modi, the country has opened new doors of opportunity for the youth through Digital India, self-reliance, and the startup culture.

“Innovation is no longer just an idea today; it has become a policy and a priority. In line with this vision, the Delhi government is also taking concrete steps to promote skills, technology, research, and entrepreneurship, so that the youth of the capital can lead in global competition,” she said.

On this occasion, Cabinet Minister Ashish Sood and the distinguished members of the university were also present.

While the digital push is commendable, I wish the speech also addressed the job market reality. Many engineering graduates still struggle for good placements. Innovation is key, but stable employment is the immediate need for most middle-class families.

Absolutely right! From a time when we had to stand in long lines for everything, now most work happens on our phones. Jio's data revolution and Digital India have been a game-changer for the youth in smaller towns too. The future is in their hands now.

Focusing on solving Delhi's pollution and infrastructure challenges is the right call. I hope these bright minds from NSUT can develop practical, scalable tech solutions for clean air and better public transport. That would be a real service to the nation.

The emphasis on 'national interest' is crucial. We need engineers and entrepreneurs who build for Bharat, solving our unique problems, not just chasing Silicon Valley trends. Aatmanirbhar Bharat starts with such mindset. All the best to the graduates!

True, the digital domain has transformed. But as a recent grad, I feel the skills gap is still huge. Colleges need to sync more with industry needs. Government initiatives are there, but implementation at the ground level needs to be faster.
