Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday interacted with thousands of youngsters who have made it big in the startup sector and said it is the youth who have turned out to be the "job creators" of the nation.

"There was a time when startups meant only digital and tech innovation. Things are changing now. We are seeing start-up entrepreneurs in different fields," he said.
Modi said startups were no longer confined to big cities only."Smaller towns and villages are emerging as vibrant startup centres," he added.
He also said that India has distinguished itself in the global startup eco-system.
