"We have the world's highest population of youth. If we are able to impart skills to this young population and link them with employment and entrepreneurship opportunities, nobody can stop us from realising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's dream of India becoming a Vishwa Guru in 2047," Tetwal said.

He suggested that the industry select institutions in Madhya Pradesh to establish excellence centres there to get an industry-ready workforce.
