Addressing over 200 CEOs and startups, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged them to collaborate with the government of India for development of the nation.
“You are my team, and we need to work together to take India forward,” the Prime Minister said while interacting with young CEOs at the “Champions of Change – Transforming India through G2B partnership” initiative organised by NITI Aayog at Pravasi Bharatiya Kendra.

Emphasizing on people’s participation as an important element of governance, Modi said that development must become a mass movement. “A spirit should be created, whereby we all set targets for our contribution to India, by 2022,” he added.
Modi also urged CEOS to partner with government to rapidly move towards making India a less-cash society.
Six groups of young CEOs made presentations on themes such as Make in India; Doubling Farmers’ Income; World Class Infrastructure; Cities of Tomorrow; Reforming the Financial Sector; and New India by 2022. Appreciating the presentations, the Prime Minister said the new and innovative ideas will surely help in policymaking.
