In a message that resonates with the spirit of Diwali, PM Modi has called upon citizens to embrace local products, thereby fueling the journey towards an Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
Local Economy Ignited
The ‘Vocal for Local’ initiative is more than a call to action; it’s a movement to empower local artisans and small-scale industries. By choosing locally made products, consumers directly contribute to the livelihoods of local craftsmen and the broader economy.
Cultural Threads Weaved
This campaign is not just about economic growth but also about preserving India’s rich tapestry of cultural heritage. Traditional sweets, handcrafted items, and eco-friendly practices are not only environmentally sound choices but also a celebration of India’s diverse traditions.

Social Media Mobilized
The Prime Minister has also announced a social media campaign on the NaMo app, inviting citizens to post selfies with local products or artisans, thus personalizing the ‘Vocal for Local’ narrative and fostering a community of supporters.
