Need to give up on ‘Chalta hai’ attitude to ‘Kuchh karna hai’: Piyush Goyal

The Minister for Commerce & Industry, Textiles, Consumer Affairs and Food & Public Distribution Shri Piyush Goyal has called upon the youth to “dream big and aim high” in their lives.

Goyal addressed a group of university students affiliated to Vadodara based ‘Chhatra Sansad’. These students are on the ‘Intern Nation Leadership Tour 2022’, a ten-day Good Governance tour. The Minister said that the youth are the agents of positive change.

He gave examples of the role of youngsters in the Independence Movement and the Fight Against Emergency, and said, “Mass movements are created on the back of the youth of the times.”

“Students bring energy that brings great changes. We need to give up on ‘Chalta hai’ (Let It Go) attitude to ‘Kuchh karna hai’ (Let’s do It). The Josh and excitement that youth bring to the table is vital to achieve great results. Please dream big…Don’t think in terms of small aims,” said Shri Goyal, in his address during the video conference. “Koshish karne walon ki kabhi haar nahin hoti,” he said.

“When we aspired for $400 billion exports, people would laugh away at us But now here we are at $300 bn in the first nine months (of the current Financial Year.),” said Goyal, adding, “Even in the pandemic we dreamt big about exports and making India vibrant with boundless business opportunities.”

Goyal called Prime Minister Narendra Modi an inspirational leader for the nation’s youth, who has brought about sweeping changes in India’s history such as ‘Swachh Bharat’ and ‘Atma Nirbhar Bharat’ by involving all the people with his motto of “Sabka Prayas.”
