PM Modi says India is building new capabilities

In his last Man ki Baat, a monthly programme of 2020, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that India is building new capabilities through Atmanirbharta or Self-Reliance. He said, on account of Corona, the world has faced numerous hurdles in terms of supply chains, but in India we learnt a new lesson with every crisis and built capabilities. Speaking about the message of Abhinav Banerjee of Delhi who wrote his experience that customers are demanding India made products and shopkeepers are selling made in India products, Modi said, it is a big transformation in the mindset. He said, a major change has come up in the minds of the countrymen within a year. He said, it is not easy to gauge this change and even economists would not be able to assess their parameters.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to sahibzaade Zorawar Singh and Fateh Singh, the sons of Guru Gobind Singh who were buried alive on this day."Their martyrdom did a great work of protecting our civilisation," he said. The Prime Minister said, Saffron has been associated with Kashmir for centuries and in May this year, the Kashmiri Saffron was given the Geographical Indication Tag, GI tag. He said, through this, the Government wants to make Kashmiri Saffron a Globally Popular Brand. After obtaining the GI Tag certificate, Kashmiri Saffron was launched in a supermarket in Dubai. He said, now its exports will get a boost and it will further strengthen the efforts to build an atmanirbhar Bharat. Farmers growing saffron will be especially benefited by this.
