Narendra Modi, through this slogan indicated towards initiating a mechanism whereby the unemployed youth of backward regions could turn them into job creators rather than job seekers.

He said that there is need to give youth opportunities to grow and be industrialists and entrepreneurs. “We want a startup network to be established in India.”

In addition to the systems to facilitate startups, Modi said that loans would also be given to help people in their startups.
