In response to the topic of “Voice for Local,” the Prime Minister stated that it is a national obligation and not a question of personal preference. Shri Modi remarked on enhanced domestic production and record growth in exports while noting the nation’s enormous support for Voice for Local and aatmnirbharta. “Our exports of both commodities and services have reached an all-time high. The Prime Minister stated that this suggests expanding opportunities for India and urged interested parties, including associations and chambers of commerce, to assume responsibility for promoting regional makers and business owners all the way down to the district level.

On Saturday, Prime Minister Modi emphasized the importance of working on a “time-bound mission” to support small businesses and artisans, noting that the Skill India Mission’s training of youth and the establishment of Kaushal Rozgar Kendras have already resulted in the creation of millions of jobs and that skilled artisans are emblems of the true spirit of independent India. Modi was speaking during the final post-Budget webinar on “PM Vishwakarma Kaushal Samman,” which was the 12th.

For the success of the country’s economic narrative, Modi emphasized the need of empowering rural India, saying: “For this, we would have to operate in a time-bound mission mode.” In addition to maintaining the nation’s rich traditions, he said, the PM Vishwakarma Yojana aims to support small business owners and artists. He also reaffirmed the government’s commitment to providing each artisan access to easy financing, training, technical assistance, digital empowerment, brand promotion, marketing, and raw materials through a comprehensive institutional support system. He said that by using the e-commerce business model, companies may potentially develop a sizable market for handcrafted goods. He requested a thorough plan from all parties involved for assisting small companies and artists.

In his last remarks, the prime minister emphasized that everyone in India should benefit from the country’s economic growth and he asked all parties involved to support this goal. He also emphasized the need to have a sizable pool of qualified specialists. I want you all to have a detailed discussion about such futuristic concepts, he said.
