Approaching
PRIME MINISTER Narendra Modi’s advice to his ministers to travel to reach out to the youth seems to have yielded some positive results for Rajeev Chandrasekhar. The Secretary of State for Skills Development and Entrepreneurship, who was in Dubai earlier this month, happened to meet a young businessman at the Dubai Expo booth in India, who wanted to meet him separately. The minister had assured him that he would give time if he came to India. This weekend, Chandrasekhar, who in Lucknow for the start-up inauguration, met the same person at the service. The minister then went ahead and helped him get some help from the state government as he had requested. The minister mentions the incident to emphasize the need to travel and approach.
