Assam CM Emphasizes Gandhi’s Vision for a Swadeshi, Self‑Relying India

The Chief Minister of Assam, during a public address, underscored Mahatma Gandhi’s vision as a guiding framework for India’s shift towards a new era of Swadeshi and Aatmanirbharta (self‑reliance). He argued that the principles of self‑sufficiency and indigenous production, championed by Gandhi, remain relevant for contemporary economic and social development. The CM called upon state and national leaders to adopt policies that promote local manufacturing and reduce dependence on imports.

He emphasized that embracing Swadeshi would not only strengthen the domestic economy but also foster resilience against global market fluctuations. The speech highlighted examples of successful local enterprises and urged the government to provide support through incentives and infrastructure development.

The CM’s remarks were part of a broader campaign to align Assam’s growth strategy with national objectives of self‑reliance. He also urged citizens to contribute by supporting local products and businesses. The statement was well received by business leaders and community groups who see it as a step towards sustainable development.
