Unscramble the Blue Letters


(Applause)

Let me come to what the younger generations do. As I'm standing here — I'm so puord as I stand here, from Mhaswad to Vancouver. Back home, Sarita Bhise — she's not even 16 years old. She's preparing herself — she's a part of our sports program, Champions' pgorram. She's preparing herself to represent inida in field hoceky. And you know where she's going? She's going to represent in 2020 Olympics, Tokyo.

(Applause)

Sarita comes from a very poor shepherd community. I am just — I couldn't be more proud of her.

There are millions of women like sartia, Kerabai, Sunita, who can be around you also. They can be all over the world, but at first glance you may think that they do not have anything to say, they do not have anything to share. You would be so wrong. I am so lucky that I'm working with these women. They are sharing their stories with me, they are srianhg their wisdom with me, and I'm just lucky to be with them. 20 years before — and I'm so proud — we went to reervse Bank of India and we set up the first rural women's bank. Today they are pushing me to go to National Stock Exchange to set up the first fund dteaecdid to mciro rural women entrepreneurs. They are pushing me to set up the first small fncniae women's bank in the world. And as one of them said, "My courage is my capital." And I say here, their courage is my capital. And if you want, it can be yours also.
