“In the last 10 years, the country’s defence production has more than doubled, which means it is more than Rs 1 lakh crore. The youth are playing a key role in this. In the last 10 years, over 150 defence startups have started in the country, and our forces have decided to give them orders worth Rs 1,800 crore. An ‘Atmanirbhar’ Bharat in defence sector is a guarantee of ‘Atmavishwas’ in forces,” said PM Modi.

This is the call of a new Bharat, If we want to make Bharat ‘viksit’, then we need to reduce our dependence on others. That’s why Bharat is focusing on ‘atmanirbharta’ in every sector – from edible oils to modern aircraft,” PM Modi said.
