‘Swadeshi’ has played a major role in our prosperity: Haryana CM
Speaking on the occasion, he said that just as the swadeshi movement strengthened our struggle for independence, the made-in-India push will also empower India’s journey towards prosperity.
Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on Thursday urged people to buy Made-in-India products that carry the hard work of Indian youth and inaugurated the Diwali mela at Surajkund in Faridabad themed “Aatmanirbhar Bharat–Swadeshi Mela and We Unite Families”.
Speaking on the occasion, he said that just as the swadeshi movement strengthened our struggle for independence, the made-in-India push will also empower India’s journey towards prosperity. “History tells us that when India was known as the golden sparrow, swadeshi played a major role in our prosperity,” he added.
The chief minister said that the Diwali Mela, which will be organised till October 7, serves as a vibrant platform for festivities, local business, culture, and art. He noted that the mela also boosts the morale of artisans across the country. “When you purchase products from here, you not only encourage artisans but also contribute to making India self-reliant,” he said, adding that a nationwide “atmanirbhar Bharat sankalp abhiyan” is being organised to turn the
swadeshi pledge into a people’s movement. This campaign will continue till December 25, the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
