A large number of college students, youth, teachers and principals participated in this conference. Dr. Mukesh Aghi said that Sardar Sandhu invited us to come to Amritsar, due to which the partnership between the two countries is progressing rapidly due to the improvement in India-US relations, now the relations between the US and Amritsar will also be strengthened. We have come to know the emotions of the youth here, they want to do a lot and move ahead in life. There is a need to provide skilled education to empower the youth here.
He said that with the investment of American companies, lakhs of jobs have been created in India.
On this occasion Shailesh Pathak, Secretary General of India's National Chamber of Commerce, FICCI, which is about a hundred years old, termed the youth under 30 as lucky and said that such progress has never been seen in India. He claimed that much has happened in just 10 shawls compared to the previous 30 shawls. He said that it is important for the youth to have skills for them to move forward and while praising Taranjit Singh Sandhu, he said that who knows better than Sandhu how best skills can be imparted. He said that there is a lack of experience that companies do not get good skilled people. You need to do internship in companies, we will help.
Former Ambassador Taranjit Singh Sandhu raised the hope of the students and said that you have to trust yourself. We will work together. Your dreams will surely come true and success will kiss your steps. He informed the new generation about the alternative arrangements and said that one cannot move forward not only with failures but without skills.
