Right now, we concentrate on taking India to new heights, to construct a brand new India - an atma-nirbhar (self-reliant) India. India will most definitely obtain this. Historical past is proof to the truth that when India is decided to attain one thing, it has at all times achieved so.
A self-reliant India has now turn out to be the mantra for 130 crore Indians.I imagine within the nation, its individuals, our perception, our younger residents. We imagine in Vasudev Kutumbakam - The whole world is one household.

We've got seen that after we put our thoughts to it, we will obtain something. We by no means made PPE Kits, our manufacturing of masks and ventilators was meagre... however at present we're making all of it.
As we transfer in the direction of our 75th 12 months of Independence, all the nation should take a pledge to make 'vocal for native' the mantra of the nation.

A few of it's possible you'll not know this, however in contrast to every other enterprise, the place a enterprise man has the liberty to promote their services or products in any a part of the nation or the world and at a value they need, our farmers, until just lately, didn't have that freedom.

Now, we have now eliminated these restrictions, and given farmers the liberty to promote at the very best value, and to who they need to.
We're additionally engaged on our purpose in the direction of Jal Jeevan Mission by which potable ingesting water might be made accessible in each faucet in each house.
