The BJP is in a buoyant mood after passing the Delhi services bill. Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated the need to repeat the Swadeshi resolution to support the weavers and craftsmen in the upcoming festivities of Raksha Bandhan, Ganesh Utsav, Dasara and Diwali.
The Prime Minister also said, “The government is developing ‘Ekta Mall’ in every capital city of the country to promote handicraft and indigenous products. An ‘Ekta mall’ has already been set up at the ‘Statue of Unity’ in Gujarat.
Referring to the rise of a neo-middle class in India, he said a huge young consumer class was being formed for every product, and it presented a huge opportunity for textile companies, and it was also the responsibility of these companies to strengthen the local supply chain and invest in it.
“If we want to take advantage in the future, then we have to invest in the local supply chain today. This is the way to build a developed India and realize the dream of a $5 trillion economy,” Modi said.
The Prime Minister asked the textile industry and the fashion world to increase the scope of thinking and work to make India one of the top three economies of the world.
