Address of Prime Minister while campaining 'Make in India'

Below are the key highlights of the speech delivered by Hon‘ble Prime Minister shri.

Narendra Modi :

I was hearing the business leaders. My Ministerial colleague also shared insight, we

even saw the film, so I need not further emphasise on Make in India

I used to be sadened seeing people / Industrialists leaving India and establishing

there base in other countries

We do not want any industrialist now being forced to leave India. And with my

immidiate experience, I can say that we have been able to bring about a change in

last few months

Whenever I met people for the last few years they would tell me — we want to shift

out. I never saw political reasons behind it.Yet, when I heard such views I felt very

sad. Why must our own people need to leave India

Biggest issue was trust. Why do we not trust our fellow countrymen? I want to

change this.

We have to increase manufacturing and at the same time ensure that the benefits

reach the youth of our nation.

Industry does not come when there are too many incentive schemes. We have to

create a development & growth oriented environment. For this my definition of FDI is

First Develop India

The world is looking at Asia for investments. And the criteria laid are in favour of a

country having democracy, demographic dividend & growing demand. While in India

we have all the three. Hence we need not have to tell the world our address, there'll

be a Vasco da Gama and reach in every nook and corner of the India

Talking about his cabinet, Hon‘ble Prime Minister mentioned that, ―My 3 month

experience tells me that my entire team has a very positive outlook and thinking.

They are 2 steps ahead of me too.‖

While he emphasized that, India should not be looked as just as a market. Industries

need to strive to increase employments such that poors can be shifted to the middle

class. And the quicker the Indian middle class grows the bigger will be the market

Lauding the country‘s successful Mars mission, Hon‘ble Prime Minister mentioned

thatnobody can now question the talent of our people, especially after yesterdays

success

Emphasising on center and state relationships, Hon‘ble Prime Ministermentioned

that Governement is committed to growth, there is no political agenda but article of

faith. States and Centre should work as a team as development of States will in turn

result in development of India

Talking about Digital India mission, Hon‘ble Prime Minister mentioned thatalong with

highways,he also wants i-ways i.e. information ways for a Digital India

Finally he urged investors who've been considering leaving India to stay back,

flourish here first, and then decide.

Prime Minister dedicated the launch of Make in India mission to himwho has inspired
