NEW DELHI, 15 August 2024 : Commenting on the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s address to the nation on the occasion of Independence Day, Dr. Anish Shah, President, FICCI said “The Prime Minister has laid out a national vision encompassing steps that would shape India’s growth, drive innovation and scale up our position as a global leader across various sectors of the economy. The Prime Minister’s vision for India reflects the aspirations of all sections of our society and would galvanise all Indians to work towards the goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047”.

“Amongst the various areas the Prime Minister outlined in his address, we have particularly noted the points related to transforming India into a global manufacturing hub, focusing on strengthening indigenous design capabilities, improving self-reliance and technological self-sufficiency in critical segments of industry such as chips and semiconductors as well as the need to be recognised for commitment to quality with Indian standards being looked at setting international benchmarks”, Dr Shah added.

“FICCI strongly believes that India must be seen as a high-quality nation and our products must match the best in class seen anywhere in the world in terms of design, sustainability and service quality. It is time for Indian companies to look at the world as a market for their products and by focussing on R&D, innovation and design across the entire value chain, we will be able to create global champions coming out from India. FICCI will continue to work with the government and its members to realise this vision and move in the direction that has been shown by our Prime Minister”, said Dr Shah.
