It shows how the Karna Taka is growing in the form of a big aviation hub. I will express the youth of India in a special way. With this facility, they will get many opportunities to learn new skills in the aviation sector. Friends, we are trying to increase the participation of women in every sector of India. In our G-20 summit, we have seen a revolution. We have said it before the world. Now the time has come for women's late development. In the aviation and aerospace sector, we are trying to create new opportunities for women. Whether it is fighter pilots or civil aviation. Today, India is leading women pilots. I can say with pride that today, there are 15% women pilots among the pilots of India. And it is important to understand that there are more than three times than the global average. The Boeing Sukanya program has started. The aviation sector of India will increase the participation of our women. The dream of becoming a pilot for the poor families will be fulfilled in the areas of far-off areas. Many of the government schools in the country will have the opportunity to become a pilot for career coaching and development. Friends, just a few months ago, you have seen how the moon of India reached there where no country was able to reach. This success has brought the scientific temper to a new height in the new era of India. India is also a big hub for the same education. Women in India study science, technology, engineering and math in a big company. And today, when I was travelling abroad, a very big leader of a country was asking me whether women in India are interested in studying at this time? And I told him that there are more female students than male students here. It was a surprise for him. The Boeing Sukanya program is also going to benefit India's daughters. Friends, you have studied India's growth as an aviation market and are also following its trajectory. In the last ten years, India's aviation market has completely transformed. Every stakeholder from the aviation sector is filled with new enthusiasm. Every stakeholder from manufacturing to services is looking for a new opportunity in India. Today, India has become the third largest domestic aviation market in the world. In one decade, the number of domestic passengers has increased more than twice in India. In the next few years, the number of domestic passengers is increasing. Seeing such a big demand, our airlines have ordered hundreds of new aircrafts. That is, the aviation market of the world is going to give a new energy. Friends, today we are all so excited about the aviation sector of India. But what happened in the last ten years? In the global aviation sector, India has progressed so much. Because today, the aspirations of the people of India and the ease of living are being carried out. There was a time when the poor air connectivity was a very big challenge for us. Because of this, India was not able to change its potential in performance. That is why we have made investment in the connectivity infrastructure as our practice. Today, India is one of the world's most well-connected markets. In 2014, there were 70 operational airports in India. Today, there are 150 operational airports in the country. We have not only made new airports, but also increased the efficiency of our airports. Friends, India's airport capacity has increased rapidly in the area of air cargo. So, it is easy for India to reach the international market far and wide. India's overall growth and employment generation is also increasing rapidly. Friends, the growth of our aviation sector is increasing rapidly. For this, India is taking a drastic step at the policy level. We are advising the state governments to reduce the taxis associated with aviation fuels. We are trying to make aircraft leasing easy. We are trying to reduce India's off-shore dependence in aircraft leasing and financing. That is why we have established the International Financial Services Centre Authority in Gipp City. It will also benefit the aviation sector of the entire country. Friends, I had told Keele that this is the right time. And this is also the right time for other international companies. This is the right time for India to connect its growth with India's rapid growth. In the coming 25 years, the growth of India has become the target of 144 crore Indians. In the past nine years, we have taken about 25 crore Indians out of poverty. We are building a new middle-class economy. Today, in every income group in India, we are seeing increased mobility. The tourism sector of India is also expanding rapidly. In other words, we are building a new relationship for all of you. You have to take more and more benefits from this. Friends, if you want to establish a manufacturing ecosystem in India, you will have to quickly establish it. There is a network of MSMEs in India. There is a very big talent pool in India. There is a stable government in India. There is a policy approach to protect India. That is why this is a win-win situation for every sector. I also believe that the first fully designed Boeing in India… People of Boeing have heard of fully designed and manufactured aircraft. You will not have to wait for too long. I also believe that the aspirations of India and your expansion will be in the form of a helpless partnership. You all have done your work with this new facility. And the way I was talking to the people who I had to meet, I could not see only one condition. I felt an emotional touch in it. And this emotional touch is not possible without the conviction of the Boeing team. For this, I congratulate the Boeing team on a special basis. Thank you very much. Thank you very much sir. Ladies and gentlemen, as the Honorable Prime Minister debarts from the venue, please do remain seated until he exits the venue. We will wait for our senior dignitaries to also leave the venue smoothly.
