New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asserted that his “vocal for local” campaign is bearing fruits as Indian products are going global and making their presence felt across the world.
He was speaking at the NXT conclave where the ‘NewsX World’ channel was launched.
Modi said the world used to look at India as its back office for decades but the country is now emerging as the factory of the world.
Now, India is not merely the workforce but a “world force”, the prime minister added.
Modi said the country is manufacturing semiconductors and aircraft carriers and its superfoods like ‘makhana’ and millets, Ayush products and yoga are being embraced across the world.
India has also become a major automobile producer and its defence export is rising, he said.
Modi said India should be presented as it is, without any colour. It does not need any make-up, he said, adding that real stories from the country should reach the world.
The prime minister said the BJP-led NDA government’s re-election for a third term showed people’s trust and hoped that the new global news channel from India would take the country’s achievements abroad.
He said the world is looking at India in the 21st century, and that the country is constantly generating positive news.
