June Week 4 Activity

“Atma Nirbhar India”, announced by our Prime Minister is a very recent movement and a powerful thought to revive the Indian Economy and prepare the road map for India to become self-reliant by using Indian products and doing away with foreign products as much as possible.

PM Modi addressed how self-reliance was key to surviving the new phase of the lockdown. India has to be strong and genuine to its own culture and brands rather than depending on foreign goods, as the current situation will make the economy more reliant on its own production. Locally made goods should be promoted and used just as India’s very own Khadi which proved to be profitable to the handloom sector of the country to become a well-exported commodity.

This movement is supported by many citizens and groups through boycott of Chinese products, and products from other foreign countries in general. But how difficult or easy is this for our young ACTIZENS® to support the movement and take active part in the same and in turn support the country’s economic revival. Let us engage our students this week to think and analyse critically, the products they use in their day to day lives and take informed decisions to replace these with Indian products.

Goal – Creating Actizens® i.e. Alert, Informed and Active citizens

• Alert – About the current situation of economy and interdependence on products and apps manufactured outside India.
• Informed – Learn more about apps and products which we use on daily basis and part of our life but not manufactured in India.
• Active – By taking informed decisions about how easy or difficult it is for us to achieve the dream of Atma Nirbhar Bharat and how much are we ready to contribute towards it.
