Modi highlights govt focus on generating employment
In a virtual address after the distribution of over 51,000 appointment letters, the PM said his government's welfare schemes, be it building over 4 crore houses for the poor, distributing over 10 crore new LPG connections or the rooftop solar programme, have created lakhs of new employment opportunities and so have a host of other initiatives that led to growth in manufacturing sector.
Speaking of his recent five-nation tour, he said the whole world now recognises the strength of India's demography and democracy. The ability of India's youth is its biggest capital and a guarantee of the country's bright future, he added. Modi said, 'The world acknowledges today that India possesses two infinite powers. One is demography, the other is democracy. In other words, the largest youth population and the largest democracy.' The Prime Minister asserted that the agreements signed during his tour will benefit Indian youth both within the country and abroad.
The treaties cover critical sectors such as defence, pharmaceuticals, digital technology, energy, and rare earth minerals and will create far-reaching benefits.
'These initiatives will not only strengthen India's global economic standing but also generate meaningful opportunities for young Indians in both manufacturing and services,' he said.
Noting that over 25 crore people were lifted out of poverty in the past 10 years, the Prime Minister said it would not have happened but for the employment and sources of income generated for them. These poor people used to have a difficult living and feared death but became so strong that they defeated poverty, he added.

Travel Food Services IPO Listing: Shares of Travel Food Services Ltd listed at just a 2.36% premium or at Rs 1,126 apiece on the BSE as against its IPO issue price of Rs 1,100. Travel Food Services IPO Listing: Travel Food Services Ltd made a weak stock market debut on Monday, with its shares listing at just a 2.36% premium or at Rs 1,126 apiece on the BSE as against its IPO issue price of Rs 1,100. After the listing, the shares declined into red and were trading lower by around 0.75% at Rs 1,086, as of 10:15 am. On the NSE, the shares of Travel Food Services listed at a premium of 2.2% or at Rs 1,125 apiece. The listing is in line with market expectations as reflected in its pre-listing GMP, which stood at 2.27%. The company's market cap stood at nearly Rs 14,500. The Travel Food Services IPO was opened between July 7 and July 9. It received an overall subscription of 2.88 times at the end of three-day subscription window closing. The Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) was subscribed their portion 7.70 times, while the Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs) category was subscribed 1.58 times. The price band of the mainboard IPO, which aims to raise Rs 2,000 crore, was fixed in the range of Rs 1,045 to Rs 1,100. Travel Food Services, founded in 2007, operates 397 quick service restaurants (QSRs) and airport lounges across 17 airports in India and Malaysia, with a portfolio of 117 in-house and partner brands. SBI Securities highlighted TFS as a 'proxy to the Indian aviation growth story", given its strong presence across major airport terminals and upcoming concessions at Greater Noida and Navi Mumbai airports. The brokerage noted that the company's brand portfolio includes a healthy mix of in-house and third-party QSR brands. 'At the upper price band of Rs 1,100, the stock is likely to trade at 39.9x FY25 EPS, which is at a discount to listed QSR companies. TFS has superior margins and return ratios along with a strong balance sheet. We recommend investors to 'subscribe' to the issue at the cut-off price," SBI Securities said. Canara Bank Securities is positive on the company's airport-centric model, citing its competitive moat created by global partnerships, strong brand equity, and high-traffic locations. 'From a valuation standpoint, the IPO is priced attractively, placed below the sector average and trades lower than the peer average in terms of price-to-book value (P/BV). Given its strong growth trajectory, first-mover advantage, and resilient business model in a niche, high-growth segment, we recommend a 'subscribe' rating for both listing gains and long-term investment," the brokerage added. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
