‘Atmanirbhar’ Bharat
12/26/2023 12:03:10 AM
Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s declaration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ambition to make all 140 crore Indians self-reliant is a bold assertion.
The “Atmanirbhar Bharat” (Self-Reliant India) mission carries the potential to empower individuals, strengthen the nation, and forge a brighter future for all.
On an individual level, self-reliance fosters a sense of agency and control. Imagine empowering every Indian with the skills and resources to build their own livelihood, to break free from dependence and chart their own destiny. This could manifest in countless ways – a street vendor equipped with a microloan expanding their business, a rural farmer utilizing innovative agricultural practices to boost yield, or a young woman trained in coding skills landing a remote job. Such individual successes, multiplied across 140 crore dreams, have the power to transform the tapestry of the nation.
Beyond individual lives, self-reliance translates into national resilience. A country’s dependence on external forces, be it for essential goods, technological know-how, or strategic security, renders it vulnerable. Imagine an India capable of manufacturing high-end technology, fostering robust domestic supply chains, and securing its energy needs. This economic and strategic independence can shield the nation from global turbulence and pave the way for sustainable growth.
The “Atmanirbhar Bharat” mission also holds immense potential for social progress. Consider a scenario where self-reliance initiatives prioritize skill development and entrepreneurship among marginalized communities. Imagine rural women trained in handicraft production finding global markets, or tribal youth equipped with digital skills finding opportunities in the online arena. Such targeted empowerment can bridge social divides, foster economic inclusion, and unlock the latent potential of every citizen.
India can, and should, engage with the global economy while simultaneously strengthening its domestic capabilities. Openness to external collaborations and knowledge sharing can be catalysts for further growth.
Prime Minister Modi’s vision of a self-reliant India carries immense potential for individual empowerment, national strength, and social progress. Recognizing and embracing the positive possibilities of this mission, while being mindful of the challenges, can chart a course towards a brighter future for all 140 crore dreams waiting to take flight. Let us remember, self-reliance is not an end in itself, but a means to an end – a flourishing, inclusive, and resilient India where every citizen can thrive.
