Make in India program was launched by Prime Minister Narendera Modi on 25th September 2014 as an initiative to encourage various companies to manufacture in India. Make in India is an initiative under Atma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan which is dedicated to developing a modern independent India. Make in India’s movement is to attract foreign capital to invest in Indian manufacturing companies to create more employment options and to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub. This initiative is to promoting manufacturing companies to produce goods and services in India instead of importing it from other countries and encouraging citizens to use the made in India products only.
The ideology behind the Make in India plan was to generate more employment, saving the nation’s money from exporting goods that can be or used to manufacture in India, and to create a conducive environment for investments. This movement can help to develop India to become a developed nation quickly. Make in India help to develop a modern and efficient infrastructure and open up new sectors for foreign capital especially after the 100% ownership of FDI.
