Why ‘Make In India’ Is A Good Social Movement To Support?

The ‘Make in India’ initiative was launched by the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014 to encourage and promote manufacturing and production in India as a way to enhance the economic prospects of the country.

The ‘Make in India’ can only work if manufacturers, retailers, and consumers all support this initiative. While for government purchasing, national leadership can push it. But at the ground level, the bureaucrats need to support it. This support is a social movement. Similarly, manufacturers who have got used to importing from China and labeling their brand names including many big manufacturing companies should also support the social movement by manufacturing in India. Finally, unless the customer gives preference for Indian manufactured products, the retailers may keep pushing Chinese manufactured products. All these require a social movement in supporting the ‘Make in India’ initiative.
