Here are the highlights of PM Modi’s address:
- Today’s meeting is very important as it comes at a crucial time – when we all are battling the COVID-19 crisis. During this battle against COVID-19, whenever there was a need, industry stepped up and contributed immensely.
- This meeting of CII is taking place this time in the atmosphere of 75th Independence Day. This is a huge opportunity, for new resolutions, for new goals of the Indian industry. The huge responsibility for the success of the self-reliant India campaign is on Indian industries.
- The several steps taken by the government has led to record FDI in India. We’re also creating new records in FPI and the forex reserve is at an all-time high.
- Today, Indians believe in the products made in India. The people of the country have made up their mind and the industry sector needs to formulate its policies and framework according to this. This will help all of you in the road towards Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
- The start ups are showing self-confidence. Several unicorns are becoming the image of the nation. 7-8 years ago, India might have had just 3-4 unicorns. Today, there are nearly 60 unicorns in India. Out of these 60, 21 of them have been developed in the last few months.
