Speaking to the nation on the occasion of Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlights the significance of Vocal for Local mindset. 

Addressing the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort, the PM says, "The mindset of free India should be 'vocal for local'. We should appreciate our local products, if we don't do this then our products will not get the opportunity to do better and will not get encouraged."

Modi added that it was time for Atmanirbhar Bharat and said that he knew there were challenges. "I agree that there are lakhs of challenges for 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' and they increase if there is global competitiveness. However, if there are lakhs of challenges then the country also has power which gives crores of solutions, my countrymen who give us the strength of solution."
