He emphasized that this would serve as the true hallmark of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' (Self-Reliant India). Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan (Self-Reliant India Campaign) The 'Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan' (Self-Reliant India Campaign) reflects a broad vision for India's economic transformation and self-reliance. This initiative focuses on economic revival, promoting domestic industries, and fostering national self-reliance, while simultaneously strengthening India's participation in global supply chains. Through sector-specific measures, the scheme aims to generate employment, improve liquidity, expand manufacturing activities, and strengthen administrative frameworks. This campaign views times of crisis as an opportunity for economic reform and domestic growth. Inspired by the principle of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" (The World is One Family)—enshrined in the Maha Upanishad—this initiative does not advocate for isolation from the world. Instead, it promotes strategic self-reliance by leveraging local resources, supporting Indian industries, and enhancing India's role within international markets and supply chain networks.
