Minister of state for information technology and Skill development Rajeev Chandrasekhar said that the central government will soon launch a Digital India Innovation Fund to support deep tech startups.
Addressing around 1,000 college students as part of ‘New India for Young India: Techade of Opportunities’ programme at the Catholic Bishop House Campus at Thamarassery on Friday, he said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of New India is one where there were ample opportunities for every Indian to participate in the development process and hard work and skills are the only determinants of success.
He said that for most part of the past 75 years, India had been a dysfunctional Democracy where the opportunities for Growth were limited to a select few.
The minister had lunch with bishops Remigiose Inchananiyil and Varghese Chakkalakal and other members of Kerala Catholic Youth Movement.
