The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has unveiled new modules on the Swadeshi movement, tracking its progression from its roots in 1905 to the present day, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi champions self-reliance as vital for India's development.
During his recent Independence Day address, PM Modi underscored the role of a 'self-reliant Bharat' in achieving a developed nation status. He encouraged teachers to engage themselves and their students in promoting Swadeshi products, bolstering initiatives like 'Make in India' and 'Vocal For Local.'
The NCERT modules examine how Swadeshi played a crucial role in India's freedom struggle by rejecting foreign goods and fostering Indian industries. They also present India's strides in space, defense, and health, emphasizing the potential of self-reliance across sectors, including AI and manufacturing, to elevate India's international economic stature.
