He said India is turning challenges into opportunities and building a self-reliant future under the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.
Modi highlighted the government’s focus on Make in India, from “chips to ships,” with progress in defence manufacturing including AK-203 rifles and BrahMos missiles in Uttar Pradesh’s Defence Corridor. He pointed to India’s digital platforms like UPI, Aadhaar, DigiLocker, ONDC and the GeM portal as tools empowering small traders and shopkeepers to sell directly to the government.
