Raipur, 18 October 2024/ Women and Child Development and Social Welfare Minister Smt. Laxmi Rajwade inaugurated the Swadeshi Mela at PG College Ground in Kawardha.
“Swadeshi Mela boosts our economy by encouraging people to purchase products made in India, cultivating pride and self-reliance. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the ‘Make in India’ initiative and Digital India campaigns are strengthening our nation. Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai is also promoting ‘Swadeshi’ products in Chhattisgarh. We should contribute to making our country self-reliant by purchasing local products. Continuous efforts are being made in this regard through the ‘Swadeshi Mela.’ Our country, once ranked 11th economically, has now risen to 5th place. It is important for us to be aware of the local goods available to us. When shopping online, we should prioritize local items. The Swadeshi Mela in Kawardha features numerous local products. It is our responsibility to educate future generations about how our economy can grow and how we can achieve self-reliance by using domestically made products,” stated Smt. Rajwade.
