important role in the 'Atma nirbhar
Bharat Abhiyan'. The announcements
made by the government over Covid-
19, decisions of RBI and today's
package totals to Rs 20 lakh crores. This

help cottage industries, home
industry, small-scale industries,

This package is also for farmers,
who toil in different weather
conditions and for the middle
class who pay their taxes on
time,"

make 'local' the mantra of our lives.
Global brands that are there today
were once local too but when people
there started supporting them they
became global. That is why from today,
every Indian must become vocal for
our local,"
