Dehradun: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, through his “Mann Ki Baat” program, urged the countrymen to embrace Swadeshi and purchase more and more indigenous products. In line with this, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami today purchased goods from the Khadi Village Industries Building on Chakrata Road in Dehradun.
The Chief Minister said that Khadi is not just a fabric or product, but it is the identity of a self-reliant India and a symbol of Mahatma Gandhi’s Swadeshi ideology. The Swadeshi Abhiyan and Vocal for Local, launched at the Prime Minister’s call, have today become a mass movement across the country.
He said that purchasing Khadi and indigenous goods will not only boost local artisans, weavers, and small industries, but will also strengthen the state’s economy. The Chief Minister appealed to the people of the state to embrace Swadeshi products, especially during the festive season, and to purchase as many Khadi and local products as possible.
The Chief Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the dream of a self-reliant India is becoming a reality. Vocal for local is not just a slogan, but a decisive step towards economic and cultural self-reliance.
He expressed confidence that in the future, Uttarakhand will become a major hub for Khadi and other indigenous products, strengthening the state’s identity at the national and international levels. A large number of local people and traders were present on this occasion.
