Modi congratulated the Government of Chhattisgarh for the innovation and entrepreneurship policy, and said that in the last fifty years, countries which have laid stress on innovation have benefited, and have experienced economic prosperity. 
 
He outlined the Union Government’s initiatives such as skill development and Mudra Yojana.
