Sitharaman Tells PMIS Interns Even Small Mistakes Have Serious Consequences
India's finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, met with young interns doing work experience.
She talked to them in New Delhi.
She told them that their work matters a lot.
Even a tiny mistake can hurt someone else later.
She gave an example about a motorcycle factory.
If a worker makes a small error making a part, the person who buys the motorcycle could have problems.
The same idea applies to banks and computers.
If a banker types the wrong amount, someone could lose money.
Sitharaman said to always do work carefully.
The message is: do it carefully and think about who might be affected.
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman interacted with interns under the Prime Minister's Internship Scheme (PMIS) in New Delhi on Friday.
She urged interns to approach tasks with care and precision, warning that even a small mistake can have serious consequences for someone else.
Sitharaman cited a motorcycle manufacturer example, saying a small production error could endanger buyers or lead to costly repairs.
She noted similar risks in banking and digital services, such as mistakenly paying Rs 1,00,000 instead of Rs 1,000.
The minister said the interns, coming from across India and diverse sectors, are gaining industry exposure and building industry-relevant skills.
