PM Modi addressed the nation yesterday for the 3rd time at 8:00 pm.
The entire nation was very excited to hear his plans about India's strategy against COVID-19.
Here are the highlights of Modi’s speech:
During the lockdown we are all at home
but local shops around us have made sure to supply us with essential items.
Because of us this, stores will benefit and the economy will develop.
‘Vocal for Local' means we must avoid international brands
and use homegrown products.
When the crisis started then not even a single PPE kit was manufactured in India.
Now we have began manufacturing these items.
Today 2 lakh PPE kits and 2 lakh N95 masks are manufactured in India daily.
PM Modi said that we must not depend on the world for products.
Instead we must be self-reliant and encourage manufacturing in India.
With each other's support, this will help the economy develop.
Inorder to encourage Make in India, these 5 points need to be followed.
Economy, Infrastructure, technology, vibrant demography and strong supply system to increase demand.
India has the best talent in the world.
We must make use of this and increase manufacture of quality products, technology, etc.
to maximise the supply chain in India. So that each and every place in India recieved these items.
This will grow the Indian economy.
He also announced a Rs 20 Lakh Crore financial package. This package is 10% of India’s GDP
The package will focus on land, labor, liquidity, and law
it will help small businesses, laborers, farmers, the middle class, and cottage industries.
It will focus on the well-being of migrant workers too.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will make an indepth announcement about this soon.
More than 42 lakh people from different countries have been infected by COVID-19.
More than 2.75 lakh have lost their lives.
However we can’t be afraid and give up. We need to stay strong and fight.
Coronavirus will be with us for a long time but our lives cannot revolve around it.
We will wear masks, we will follow six-foot distance, we will be strong and positive.
Modi said after discussing with the Chief Ministers of various states,
