Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that with changing times, the nature of jobs was also changing and new sectors, including gaming, animation, reel- and film-making were emerging. He encouraged people to participate in the 25 challenges under the ‘Create in India’ theme launched recently by the Information and Broadcasting Ministry to promote talent and creativity.

“If you can perform well in any of these skills, your talent can get a very big platform. If you are a part of a band or working for community radio, then too there is a huge opportunity for you,” Mr. Modi said in his monthly ‘Mann Ki Baat’ radio programme.

He said that some of the ‘Create in India’ challenges focussed on music, education, and even on anti-piracy. “There are many professional organisations associated with this objective and are providing full support to these challenges. In order to participate, you can log in to wavesindia.org. I specially urge the creators in the country to ensure participation and bring their creativity to the fore,” the PM said.

Describing the episode as an emotional one for him, Mr. Modi said ‘Mann Ki Baat’ would be completing 10 years on October 3, the first day of Navratri. He said the programme had proved how hungry the people of the country were for positive information.
