Amit Shah Calls for Nationwide Support for Swadeshi Movement
Union Home Minister Amit Shah has urged Indian farmers and citizens to embrace Swadeshi (indigenous) products, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for self-reliance.
Speaking at a public event in Ahilyanagar district, Maharashtra, Shah said that India’s 140-crore population represents one of the largest markets in the world, and adopting homegrown products would significantly contribute to national economic strength.
Event Marks Tribute to Visionary Farmers’ Leaders
The Home Minister made these remarks while unveiling the statues of Padma Shri Dr. Vitthalrao Vikhe Patil and Padma Bhushan Dr. Balasaheb Vitthalrao Vikhe Patil, two renowned figures credited with transforming India’s cooperative and rural development sectors.
The ceremony celebrated their lifelong contributions to agriculture, education, and cooperative movements, serving as inspiration for India’s new generation of farmers.
India on the Path to Becoming a Global Economic Power
During his address, Amit Shah highlighted that India is already on the verge of becoming the world’s third-largest economy.
He asserted that achieving the No. 1 position globally would require a collective national effort toward using and promoting Indian-made products in all sectors — from agriculture to manufacturing.
“If every citizen takes a pledge to use Swadeshi products, India’s economic rise will be unstoppable,” Shah said, underscoring the importance of local production in building a resilient national economy.
He also reiterated that the “Vocal for Local” campaign launched by PM Modi is not just an economic strategy but a national movement to make India self-sufficient and globally competitive.
Government’s Commitment to Farmers and Disaster Relief
Addressing the concerns of farmers affected by heavy rains and crop losses in Maharashtra, the Home Minister assured that the Central Government will provide all necessary assistance.
He confirmed that Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, along with Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar, had already briefed him about the situation.
“The Centre stands firmly with the farmers of Maharashtra. A detailed report on losses is being prepared, and compensation measures will be implemented without delay,” Shah added.
Leaders Present at the Ceremony
The event witnessed the presence of several prominent leaders including:
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis
Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar
Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil
Union Minister of State Murlidhar Mohol
Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule
BJP leader Pankaja Munde
All dignitaries collectively praised the contribution of the Vikhe Patil family toward empowering farmers and promoting cooperative growth models in Maharashtra and beyond.
Swadeshi: A Pillar for Atmanirbhar Bharat
The Swadeshi movement, which encourages citizens to use domestically produced goods, has been a core component of India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) initiative.
By prioritizing Indian-made products, Amit Shah said, the nation can reduce import dependency, boost local manufacturing, and generate employment across rural and urban sectors alike.
He further urged the agricultural community to focus on innovation, organic farming, and export-ready products, ensuring that Indian agriculture continues to thrive in global markets.
Conclusion
Amit Shah’s appeal to adopt Swadeshi products serves as a reminder of India’s collective potential to drive economic progress from within.
With government support, local innovation, and citizens’ participation, India is steadily advancing toward its goal of becoming a global leader in sustainable and self-reliant growth.
