Some are working very efficiently, and others are not as good as them, but, that is how the country runs. We cannot think about India without these CPSEs. They play a huge role in defining the country. But, those who are receiving the awards in 2020 are the part of Swami Vivekananda and Abdul Kalam's prediction.  A few great men have already predicted for you, and you are playing an important role in taking this country forward," Meghwal stressed.
