What is make in India?
Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the “Make in India” program on September 25, 2014 at a function organized at Vigyan Bhawan. The main objectives behind the initiative are to focus on skill development in 25 sectors of the job creation and economy. The aim of “Make in India” is to reduce the impact on high quality standards and the environment. Make in India is hoping to attract capital and technology investment in India.
The purpose of Make in India is to make the country a manufacturing hub. Both the domestic and foreign investors have been originally promised to provide a favorable environment to create employment opportunities by converting strong Indian population of 125 crores into a manufacturing center.
