'Make in India for the World’: PM Modi to interact with Heads of Indian Missions abroad

In the pursuit to boost the 'Make In India' initiative on the global platform, PM Modi on Friday will interact with the heads of the Indian Missions abroad and stakeholders of the trade and commerce sector via Video Conferencing. PM Modi will also give a clarion call for ‘Local Goes Global - Make in India for the World’ in the meeting. PM Modi's meeting with the Heads of Indian Missions abroad will kickstart on 6 August 2021 at 6 PM. 

As per PIB, the purpose of PM Modi's interaction is to provide a focussed thrust to leverage and expand India’s export and its share in global trade. Exports have a huge employment generation potential, especially for MSMEs and high labor-intensive sectors, with a cascading effect on the manufacturing sector and the overall economy. The interaction aims to energise all stakeholders to expand India's export potential and utilise the local capabilities to fulfill the global demand.

Apart from PM Modi, Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will also be present during the interaction. The interaction will also witness the participation of Secretaries of more than twenty departments, state government officials, members of Export Promotion Councils, and Chambers of Commerce.
