PM Narendra Modi on Wednesday called on all Indians to adopt Swadeshi products and strengthen the nation’s self-reliance.
Speaking at a rally in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, on his 75th birthday, PM Modi said, “When low GST rates take effect on the auspicious occasion of Navaratri from 22nd September, we all Indians must accept Swadeshi products.”
PM Modi emphasised that a developed India depends on empowering local industries and embracing indigenous goods. He urged citizens to take pride in products made in India and to support local artisans, manufacturers, and entrepreneurs.
In a symbolic move, he advised the state government to ensure every shop displays a board reading, “Garv se kaho ye Swadeshi hai (Say with pride, this is Swadeshi).”
He also led the crowd in chanting the slogan, sparking enthusiasm and national pride.
PM Modi linked the Swadeshi movement to the country’s economic future, noting that choosing indigenous goods would boost local employment and reduce dependence on foreign products.
He also highlighted the upcoming GST rate reduction as an opportunity for every Indian to make conscious choices in favour of Swadeshi.
By tying the Swadeshi appeal to the festive spirit of Navaratri, PM Modi reinforced the cultural significance of supporting local products.
His speech resonated strongly with the audience. Many responded with applause and chants, reflecting a shared commitment to economic empowerment and cultural pride.
PM Modi framed the rally in Dhar as part of a broader campaign to promote Atmanirbhar Bharat or self-reliant India.
He called on citizens to contribute to the nation’s progress by choosing local products and supporting Swadeshi. He also urged them to walk together toward a self-reliant and developed India.
