When we talk about Skill India Mission, we do not merely talk about filling the pockets of people. We want to instil a sense of self-confidence among the poor.

Nation is one. We will not work for Hindus or Muslims, we will work for the people of India.

We live in an inter-dependent world. An isolated India is not in our interest. Just because we are a large country, we cannot be arrogant and think that we can ignore others. We live in a different era. Terrorism is global and can come from even remote countries. International summits and organizations like WTO take decisions which will bind us and if we are not present in such summits, we may be hurt by the decisions taken.

India and Fiji have many shared values, and it is the responsibility of both the countries to strengthen those values.

I will try to live up to expectations of people; will present report card to people in 2019.

Our demographic dividend must get the digital strength.

Our mission is skill development. There can be no development with a satiated system.
