PM Modi addressed a public gathering in Hyderabad where he spoke about the global economic challenges triggered by recent conflicts and supply chain disruptions, and called for collective national responsibility to strengthen India’s resilience. He urged citizens to reduce fuel consumption, promote carpooling, use public transport and prioritise electric vehicles to help reduce pressure on imports and save foreign exchange.
PM Modi also encouraged people to adopt work from home, virtual meetings and domestic tourism wherever possible. Stressing the importance of economic self-reliance, he appealed to citizens to avoid unnecessary foreign purchases, support ‘Made in India’ products and cut down on imports like gold and edible oil. He further called for reduced dependence on chemical fertilisers and greater focus on natural farming and solar powered agricultural solutions.
The PM said overcoming global challenges requires a united national effort beyond politics, adding that every citizen’s small contribution towards sustainability, self-reliance and responsible consumption can strengthen India’s future.
