Shri Rajnath Singh Defence Minister of India

"I am told that through Gujarat University Startup and Entrepreneurship Council (GUSEC), several new startups are being supported, and that Council for Innovation & Skill Development has also been created. This is a very significant contribution to make students self-reliant.
