Mumbai: Over the next 10 years, India must strive to become a 'Financially Atmanirbhar' economy that is shielded from all global events and continues to march ahead confidently for progress and development, Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, said on Monday.

“India is among the youngest nations in the world… Our policies have opened up new sectors in the economy like green energy, digital technology, Defence which is getting into the export mode, MSMEs, space and tourism industries.

“The RBI must address the aspirations of the youth and develop 'out-of-the-box' policies for all these emerging sectors to help the youth,” urged the PM. (Also Read: SBI Customers Alert! Internet Banking, YONO To Be Unavailable At THESE Timings Today, 01 April)
