New Delhi, Jan. 26 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday opened the year's first Mann ki Baat with a popular social media trend of revisiting the year 2016, using the moment to recall the launch of Start-up India, and highlighted how far the ecosystem has come in a decade. In the 130th episode of his Mann ki Baat, the PM said in January 2016, the Centre launched an "ambitious journey" that many did not fully understand at the time. That journey, he said, was Start-up India. Today, Modi said, India has become the world's third-largest start-up ecosystem, with young entrepreneurs working in sectors that were "unimaginable even 10 years ago," including AI, space, nuclear energy, and semiconductors. He applauded young founders even as he made a a strong pitch for focusing on quality in the manufacturing industry. "The era of 'it just happens, it works somehow' is over," he said, urging companies to make "quality, quality and only quality" their mantra. Repeating his call for "Zero Defect, Zero Effect" from his R-Day address last year, Modi said Indian products- from textiles to electronics to packaging - should become synonymous with top quality as India moves towards a Viksit Bharat. "I want to urge my countrymen; especially the youth associated with industry and Start-ups. India's economy is progressing rapidly. The world is watching India. At such a juncture, we all shoulder a huge responsibility. That responsibility is to emphasize on quality," he said The PM also mentioned the India AI Impact Summit, which will be held from February 15-20, bringing heads of state, global CEOs and experts to India to discuss the country's progress in AI. On the eve of Republic Day, Modi also paid tribute to the Constitution and the founding fathers, and highlighted January 25 as National Voters' Day even as he urged young voters to register as soon as they turn 18. He also appreciated a new trend called "bhajan clubbing" where devotional songs are played in concert-like settings....
