Responding to a question on the issues like job opportunities in the country and migration from Kerala, the Minister said, "Migration is a consequence of lack of hope. But India at the moment is going through an inflection point. The coming decade is going to be India's Techade. There are tremendous opportunities for young Indians. You won't get these kinds of opportunities, anywhere outside India. We should always have confidence that this is our land and the action is in India."

Techade is a portmanteau of technology and decade, which means a decade powered by the impact of technology. (ANI)
