Union Minister for Energy, Housing, and Urban Affairs, Sh. Manohar Lal, urged manufacturers and shopkeepers to produce and sell indigenous goods instead of foreign products. He emphasized that people should be encouraged to buy locally made items.
The Union Minister participated in the “Vocal for Local” Mela held in Karnal on Thursday and appealed to shopkeepers and buyers to adopt indigenous products. He stated that this is a significant step toward strengthening the country’s economy and promoting self-reliance.
The Union Minister further said that various programmes are being organized across the country during the Seva Pakhwada, from 17 September to 2 October. Adopting indigenous products is also an integral part of this initiative. The aim of this effort is to raise public awareness about using local goods, enabling citizens to contribute to the nation’s progress, he said.
