March 28, 2022

After his ‘vocal for local’ pitch, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his 87th edition of the Mann ki Baat radio broadcast, made a call for ‘local for global’ while lauding the quantum jump in exports of Indian products.

About:

Praising India for achieving the export target of $400 billion, Mr. Modi said that at first instance, it might come across as a matter related to the economy, but more than that, it was related to the capability of India, the potential of India.
Our export figures stand at 400 billion dollars today and this means that the demand for items made in India is increasing all over the world.
Today new products from all corners of the country were reaching foreign shores, let they be leather goods from Hailakandi in Assam or handloom products from Osmanabad, or fruits and vegetables from Bijapur, he said.
He attributed the success of “Make in India” drive to farmers, artisans, weavers, engineers, small entrepreneurs and MSME sector, among others, and pitched for making the local ‘global’ and augment the prestige of Indian products further.
