Here are the highlights from his speech:

• In our country, white-collar jobs are given a lot of importance.

• We need to change our attitude towards labourers.
• I wish to thank the labour ministry that they have put in the hard work for the program in advance.
• We have to look at the problems of labour through labour itself. We have to see the problem faced by a labourer through the eyes of a labourer.
• The youth of India needs employment.
• Inspector Raj...we heard this since our childhood and we thought, it is for policemen only but then we realised it is a lot more.
• Ease of business key to success of 'Make in India'
