Washington: To maintain the momentum of growth, a “pipeline of talent” is needed for India and the US, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at an event here to highlight the two nations’ shared priorities around education and workforce, a PTI report in The Tribune, Chandigarh, says.
He was participating in the ‘Skilling for Future Event’ organised by the National Science Foundation (NSF) on Wednesday, June 21, and his visit to the organisation was hosted by First Lady Jill Biden.
“I am really happy to have had an opportunity to interact with young and creative minds here. India is working on several projects in collaboration with the NSF. I thank First Lady Jill Biden for planning and organising this event,” Modi said.
Explaining the skilling mission of his government, Modi said for the bright future of youngsters, it is important to have education, skill and innovation, and India has worked in this direction.
The National Education Policy (NEP), education and skilling have been integrated.
