The minister said that the government was presenting India as the world’s manufacturing hub and after the “China plus one” policy, the world is now talking about the “European Union plus one” policy.
She said the Indian Diaspora should collaborate with small and big businesses in India so that their entrepreneurial know-how can be harnessed by the country during the 25 years or Amrit Kal of Independence.
India is moving at a phenomenal pace towards becoming a global hub of knowledge and progress owing to the top-notch Indian professionals in information technology, digital technology, automobiles, semiconductor designing, pharmaceutical manufacturing and other fields, she emphasised.
