The Minister pointed to India's growth under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, mentioning the country's achievements in self-reliance across various sectors. He noted that India is poised to surpass challenges from 2014, aiming to become the world's third-largest producer, joining the ranks of China and Vietnam as leading manufacturing nations.

Increased global demand for Indian talent, especially in Germany, underscores opportunities for the nation's youth, Joshi remarked.
