PM Narendra Modi said that to fulfill the dream of making the 21st century India’s, the way forward is through ensuring the country becomes self-reliant.
PM Modi cited about turning the Corona crisis into an opportunity and gave the example of domestic manufacturing of PPE kits and N-95 masks. PM Modi said, “When the Corona crisis started, there was not a single PPE kit made in India. The N-95 masks were produced in small quantity in India. Today we are in a situation to produce 2 lakh PPE and 2 lakh N-95 masks daily. We were able to do this because India turned this crisis into an opportunity. This vision of India - turning crisis into opportunity- is going to prove equally effective for our resolve of self-reliant India.”
PM Modi further said that the definition of self-reliance has undergone a change in the globalized world and clarified that when India talks about self-reliance, it is different from being self-centered. He said, “The culture and tradition of India speaks of self-reliance and the soul is Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. India does not advocate self-centric arrangements when it comes to self-reliance. India's self-reliance is ingrained in the happiness, cooperation and peace of the world.”
