Vocal for Local - Atmanirbhar Bharat

Our honorable PM Modi Ji urges everyone in our country to be Vocal for Local products, in his speech on 12th May 2020, which will lead to an "Atmanirbhar Bharat". 

 

The COVID 19 pandemic lockdown has been impacting the country's economy badly.

Economic activity is at a halt. After the lockdown, which started on 25th March 2020, the Indian economy has also been severely affected.

A huge amount of investments are required to give impetus to the Indian economy. Buying Indian products will give the Indian economy the needed boost.

Hence #VocalforLocal.

 

If we try to get an in-depth understanding, then we can realize that the concept which we are applying now was already started back in the era of the Swadeshi movement, started in 1905 as part of the Indian independence movement by Mahatma Gandhi Ji.

What is Vocal for Local?

On 12th May 2020, at 8 pm speech, PM Modi addressed the nation for a fight against this pandemic situation (Corona Virus), also highlighted the need to boost domestic consumption while enhancing the local production. 

Atmanirbhar Bharat was the main agenda of his speech. 

That means we should not wait for the Pandemic to end and depend on other countries for our economic growth. But we must use our own LOCAL Indian company’s goods more & more so that they could make a GLOBAL impact.

How it’s going to help the Indian economy?

Due to coronavirus, it’s been more than 2 months of lockdown and due to which many industries are about to shut down and some have already been shut down. 

Many people lost their jobs and many are about to, salary deduction is happening all around and few industries are about to get swiped out in the coming few months.

It's a serious condition which we all are going to face. It's time to be local and be vocal for it.
we have to buy local products and proudly promote it too.

Question arises here ... how it's going to help?

Well, we all have to support MADE IN INDIA product only... but the fact is till date only 20-22% of Indian consumers are likely to buy MADE IN INDIA product whereas 80% are still dependent on foreign products. So now our target should be to convert that 20% into 100% by opting for Indian products. 

This time we have to be NIRBHAR only on Indian product, so in this way  DEMAND for Indian product will increase.

Do you know what will happen after this?

Manufacturers have to increase their production and if manufacturing units will increase then definitely, a lot of manpower will be required which means the rate of employment increases and the whole supply chain will change and grow.

All these profits which will be earned by these industries will stay in India itself and will lead to growth in the Indian economy.

“Atmanirbhar is possible”

.

.

But how?

Let’s try to understand how can we be self-reliant? At the time of this crisis situation, China sends all the faulty and substandard test kits and earned all the profit through it. 

If it was any other country, they would have been extra careful to ensure their image improves!

But China doesn’t care!

EXAMPLE – Hydroxychloroquine is a medicine which is used against Malaria and can be proven useful against COVID 19 as well.

India is the largest manufacturer of this drug and we exported 50 million pills to the US! 

But do you know?

The raw material for this comes from China and during the coronavirus pandemic China suddenly raised the prices, that’s why now India wants to build a complete supply chain in India so that we do not depend (NIRBHAR) on China.

In the manufacturing sector, China in on top of the world, 1 out of 5 things is manufactured in china which means 20% of global output comes from China.

Manufacturing in China is so cheap that we don’t have any other option…... RIGHT?

Actually it's WRONG 

Do you know what India has done in this crisis?

In the last 2 months, a new industry worth rupees 10000 crore, is born in India 

But the question is how? 

The textile industry has to close down due to COVID 19 but even during these high times, they found an opportunity, rather than shutting down the factories they decided to make PPE kits.

One private company starts & then one more company and then one more … 

You know what, today India makes 450,000 kits every single day.

In this 2 months, India became the second-largest PPE kit manufacturer in the world, this new industry will be worth 60 billion dollars by 2025. All these happened in less than 60 days, it does look impossible but yes it's true.

Well if this is not enough let me drag your attention to a different fact which is JOB/employment 

1000 American companies left manufacturing in China and might move to India and as you know 300 of them have already signed on papers and this time they are planning to target in a small city in India, so yes If India won't work on their negatives then India will lose a big opportunity.

So the point is that govt. and different industrial sectors already realized that in the coming days India can be an alternative to China in terms of manufacturing.

The only people who don’t think this is practical are NORMAL PEOPLE like us.

History always proves that whenever a country hits rock bottom it is the people who bring it back to life.

So yes, ATMANIRBHAR is POSSIBLE.

 Let's support, it’s time to BE VOCAL for our LOCAL.

JAI HIND JAI BHARAT.
