Inspired by this, millions of families across the country have decided not to use any foreign goods in their households. Similarly, millions of shopkeepers have resolved not to sell any foreign products in their shops.”On the Swadeshi campaign, Shah said, “When we adopt local products, we also align ourselves with the ambitious campaign to take India to the top position in the world by 2047.”Also read: ‘Swadeshi should be mantra of life’: PM Modi pitches for self-reliance“Both campaigns—promoting the use of Khadi and embracing Swadeshi—launched by Prime Minister Modi should empower us.
