In line with his commitment, the campaign to promote Swadeshi is being encouraged across the country. Under the Seva Pakhwada until October 2, activities focused on public participation, cleanliness and welfare will be conducted with the spirit of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas.” The ‘Swadeshi Mela With Swadeshi Delicacies’ put up by self-help groups at Bhopal Haat marks the beginning of these activities. As many as 40 self-help groups are participating, benefiting over 3,600 families. Considering the upcoming festivals, this Swadeshi Mela assumes significance as it will allow Bhopal's residents to experience local products. It also provides a platform to market items made in villages. Such initiatives will promote self-reliance, which has been India’s identity. Swadeshi products will bring pride to villages, districts, and the state while contributing to the building of a self-reliant India.
