Where did Piyush Goyal deliver the keynote address in which he spoke of the USD 1 trillion export target?
- A.Young Leaders Discourse Forum, Kirori Mal College, New Delhi
- B.India International Trade Fair, New Delhi
- C.Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Kakinada
- D.World Economic Forum, Davos
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Young Leaders Discourse Forum at Kirori Mal College, New Delhi. The Minister addressed students there, calling on them to be ambitious and reminding them that they would be in their forties when India marks 100 years of independence, so their choices would shape the country's future. Option B is wrong because the speech was not made at a trade fair. Option C is wrong because no address at Kakinada figures here. Option D is wrong because this was a college event in the national capital, not an international gathering. He also cited a recent World Bank report under which about 50 crore people in India have come out of extreme poverty, and credited India's growth to its talent, its democratic system, an average age below 30 and the demand of 140 crore Indians.
