New Delhi, August 25, 2025 –
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has delivered a strong message to the nation’s youth: *only Indian-made products should enter our homes. He urged citizens to refrain from purchasing foreign goods and for shopkeepers to showcase their patriotism by prominently displaying boards that read *“We Sell Only Indian Products.”
Modi said this is not just a slogan—*it’s national commitment. He invoked the *Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat campaigns as symbols of strength and self-reliance. In his words, “Swadeshi movement will sustain our future.”
What PM Modi Called For:
- Conscious consumerism: Every youth must decide not to bring a single foreign-made product into their home.
- Patriotic commerce: Shopkeepers should boldly advertise their “Swadeshi-only” stance at store entrances.
- Economic empowerment: Embracing locally made goods under “Make in India” and “Atmanirbhar Bharat” ensures self-sufficiency.
This appeal comes amid rising global uncertainties and U.S. tariff pressures. Modi emphasized that promoting Indian goods is a duty, not merely a preference.
Why This Matters:
- Economic resilience – Buying Indian products keeps money circulating within the economy.
- Quality and innovation – As demand grows, product quality and packaging will improve across industries.
- Cultural pride – Swadeshi isn’t just commerce; it’s a national movement rooted in freedom and identity.
How Others Are Joining In:
- CAIT’s “Bharatiya Samman, Hamara Swabhiman” campaign launches on August 10 to promote indigenous goods through seminars, rallies, and outreach.
- Defense manufacturing boost: BrahMos missiles will now be built in Lucknow. Modi flagged this as a milestone in domestic defense production.
