Prime Minister Narendra Modi underlines the role of the 'Vocal for Local' movement in expanding the global reach of indigenous goods and encourages buying local artisanal products during upcoming festivals.
During his monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat on Akashvani, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized that the 'Vocal for Local' movement has been instrumental in facilitating Indian products to penetrate global markets. He pointed out that consumers are increasingly opting for local goods during festivals, thereby augmenting their distribution internationally.
In his address, Mr Modi urged people to prioritize purchasing local artisanal products during the forthcoming festival season. He asserted that this action will bolster the 'Vocal for Local' movement and accelerate the realization of the Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-reliant India) vision.
Recalling his recent visit to Chennai, Mr Modi praised several start-ups he encountered. He accredited their growth to the supportive incubation ecosystem at IIT Madras, stating that this nurturing environment in the country is enabling start-ups to create deep-tech solutions incorporating Artificial Intelligence.
Mr Modi also reiterated his stance on the 'Vocal for Local' movement during his visit to Vadodara last month. He emphasized the importance of purchasing Indian products and supporting local businesses as a means to strengthen the domestic economy.
