Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again championed the 'vocal for local' initiative, urging citizens to prioritize 'swadeshi' products during festive celebrations. Speaking on Sunday, Modi emphasized the importance of supporting local businesses as the country enters a vibrant festival period.

With the Islamic holy month of Ramzan underway and Holi fast approaching, Modi extended his warmest wishes to the nation. He reminded citizens of the significance of embracing local products amidst the color and joy of festivals, strengthening the local economy.
