The Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, spoke on how skill development programmes are crucial to advancing equality in society. He was moved by Babasaheb Ambedkar’s worldview, which saw industrialization as a way to help the poor and oppressed, such as the Dalits, the backward castes, and the tribals, who typically owned very little land. These groups have historically been excluded from high-quality employment prospects due to a shortage of necessary skills. The Prime Minister emphasised that the poor, Dalits, backward classes, and Adivasi families had benefited most from the government’s skill development efforts.
