The agenda
With the agenda of promoting indigenous products and creating a manufacturing sector in India, this project is dear to him as this would cut down on the increasing usage of 'Made in China' products.
The campaign also aims at urging Indian and international companies to invest in India.
It comprises proposals, framed to get foreign companies to set up shop and make the country a manufacturing powerhouse. The main sectors that have been targetted for the campaign include automobiles, chemicals, IT, pharmaceuticals, textiles, ports, aviation, leather, tourism and hospitality, wellness, railways, auto components, design manufacturing, renewable energy, mining, bio-technology, pharmaceuticals and electronics among others.

10:20 am: Nirmala Sitharaman: "We want to make India a global destination for manufacturing, it has a huge potential to be so: Nirmala Sitharaman. World class infrastructure will serve as the impetus from manufacturing. We have identified 25 sectors in which India can be world leaders.....We have created a dedicated team to hand hold investors from across the world....We are constructing dedicated freight and industrial corridors and smart cities."
Benefits for investors
The companies investing in India will be provided with responsive and friendly interface where they can register their queries online and concerns systematically through a three-layered process.
While simple queries will be answered by the automated answering machines, the complicated ones will be handled by a team of 8 experts put in place by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), which includes economists and legal experts.
Digital promotion would be an important part of the agenda, to attract investors through advertisement of the efforts both at the state and the central level.
