Prime Minister Narendra Modi has completed 25 years in public service, a journey defined by the mantra of Jan Seva Se Desh Seva, and a relentless commitment that continues. Guided by this vision for Seva and Sushasan, the Government has been ceaselessly working towards achieving the goal of a Viksit Bharat by 2047. Through inclusive development and social empowerment, this dedication is transforming lives. Today, in our special series, we bring you an instance of how this vision has been translated into action through the Self-Reliant India.

Self-Reliant India, is an initiative aimed at promoting domestic manufacturing, reducing import dependence, and making India Aatmnirbhar. The initiative was launched in 2020, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make the country Self-reliant in every sector. Initiatives such as production-linked incentives, Agriculture Infrastructure Fund, Make in India, and support for micro, small and medium enterprises are intended to increase India’s productive capacity. Addressing the nation on the 79th Independence Day, Prime Minister Modi declared self-reliance as the foundation of a developed India.

Talking to Akashvani News, retired Commodore Srikant Kesnur said that India has made giant strides in the field of defence, evolving from a major importer of defence equipment to an emerging exporter.

Self-Reliant India is a long-term vision of building a strong, more capable and resilient economy to realise the vision of Vikshit Bharat by 2047. With
