A Call to the World – Prime Minister Modi’s Vision

 

In his Independence Day speech on August 15, 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a new era of economic diplomacy:

 

 Come, Make in India. Come and manufacture in India. Go and sell in any country of the world, but manufacture here. We have skill, talent, discipline and the desire to do something.

 

Formally unveiled on September 25, 2014, Make in India marked a watershed moment in India’s industrial and investment policy.
