New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said India achieving its export target of USD 400 billion this fiscal shows that the demand for its items is increasing all over the world, and asserted that when every Indian gets ‘vocal for local’, it does not take much time for the “local to become global”.
In his monthly Mann Ki Baat radio broadcast, PM Modi hailed the potential of India and said the basis of its strength is the country’s farmers, artisans, weavers, engineers, small entrepreneurs, the MSME sector and people from many different professions.
“It is only due to their hard work that the goal of exporting to the tune of USD 400 billion has been achieved and I am happy that this power of the people of India is now reaching new markets in every nook and corner of the world,” the prime minister said.
“When each and every Indian is vocal for local, it does not take long for the local to become global. Let’s make the local ‘global’ and augment the prestige of our products further,” he said.
He said that India achieving the export target of USD 400 billion, i.e. ₹ 30 lakh crore, at first instance, might come across as a matter related to the economy, but it is related to the capability of India.
