01:44Almost 25 crore individuals have come out of multi-dimensional poverty through a decade of our government's sustained
01:53and reform-oriented efforts.
02:03Our government has therefore decided to place a renewed emphasis on the service sector to provide
02:12a pathway to fulfilling aspirations of a youthful India with the following measures.
02:20I propose to set up a high-powered Education to Employment and Enterprises Standing Committee
02:28to recommend measures that focus on the services sector as a core driver of Vikasit Bharat.
02:35This will make us a global leader in services with a 10% global share by 2047.
