Aatma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan
India has faced the COVID-19 situation with fortitude and a spirit of
self-reliance, that is evident in the fact that from zero production of
Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) before March 2020, India today has
created a capacity of producing 2 lakh PPE kits daily, which is also
growing steadily.
Additionally, India has demonstrated how it rises up to challenges and
uncovers opportunities therein, as manifested in the re-purposing of
various automobile sector industries to collaborate in the making of
life-saving ventilators. The clarion call given by the Hon'ble PM to use
these trying times to become Atmanirbhar (self-reliant) has been very well received to enable the resurgence of
the Indian economy. Unlock 1 Guidelines have been issued to enable resumption of economic activities while
maintaining abundant caution thus allowing graded easing of
restrictions.
