Atmanirbhar Bharat ( ) Cpl-Chewe Ngacu ATMANIRBHAR BHARAT ( ) CPL-CHEWE NGACU Atmanirbhar Bharat, which translates to 'self-reliant India' or 'self-sufficient India', is the vision of the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi of making India "a bigger and more important part of the global economy", pursuing policies that are efficient, competitive and resilient, and being selfsustaining and self-generating. Atmanirbhar Bharat does not mean "selfcontainment", "isolating away from the world" or being "protectionist". The first mention of this came in the form of the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan' or 'Self-Reliant India Mission] during the announcement of India's COVID– 19 pandemic related economic package on 12 May 2020. The five pillars of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ are stated as economy, infrastructure, technology-driven systems, vibrant demography and demand. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said "Aatmanirbhar Bharat is not about being self-contained or being closed to the world, it is about being selfsustaining and self-generating. We will pursue policies that promote efficiency, equity and resilience. Its proponents have said that this selfreliant policy does not aim to be protectionist in nature; the Finance Minister said, "self-reliant India does not mean cutting off from rest of the world".The law and IT minister, Ravi Shankar Prasad, said that self-reliance does "not mean isolating away from the world. Foreign direct investment is welcome, technology is welcome self-reliant India.translates to being a bigger and more important part of the global economy." As part of the Atmanirbhar Bharat package, numerous government decisions have taken place such as changing the definition of MSMEs, boosting scope for private participation in numerous sectors, increasing FDI in the defence sector, and the vision has found support in many sectors such as the solar manufacturers sector. Examples of initiatives towards self-reliance: • The growth of India's personal protective equipment (PPE) sector from zero before March, to 4,50,000 pieces a day by the beginning of July, is considered as a fine example of a self-reliant India. The PPE industry in India has become a ₹10,000 crore (US$1.4 billion) in three months, the second largest after China. • The largest fund in the country worth ₹21,000 crore (US$2.9 billion) was setup by the IIT Alumni Council with the aim of supporting the mission towards self-reliance • India's own 'Made in India' 5G network was announced in July 2020 by Reliance Jio. Mukesh Ambani announced in mid-July "Jio has created a complete 5G solution from scratch, that will enable us to launch a world-class 5G service in India, using 100 per cent homegrown technologies and solutions. In September 2020, Tech Mahindra announced that they have "the capability to build and run an entire 4G or 5G network in India .We have done that already. • In August 2020, the Defence Minister Rajnath Singh announced that the Defence Ministry is "now ready for a big push to Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative" by imposing an "import embargo on 101 items" in a staged manner over a period of 5 years. • Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers, D V Sadananda Gowda, in September 2020, said that "India will be self-reliant in fertiliser production by 2023". • Three farm bills passed in September 2020 provides the legal framework to give the farmers the right to choose the price and people to whom they want to sell.

Clement stone Polity ¾ PMO,BJP defend Rajnath, son: The Prime Minister’s Office and BJP president Amit Shah on Wednesday denied reports about alleged misdemeanour by Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s son and said charges against him and some Union Ministers were “baseless, misleading and aimed at tarnishing the party’s image.” As Opposition parties sharpened their attack on the BJP, Mr. Singh said, “I want to assure the nation that the day allegations, prima facie or even small, are proven against me or my family, I will quit politics and public life and sit at home. The rumours floating around for the last 15-20 days have no basis.” Mr. Singh said he had spoken to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Mr. Shah and both had expressed surprise and termed the rumours as completely baseless. A media report had suggested that Mr. Modi had ticked off Mr. Singh’s son, Pankaj, a party office- bearer in Uttar Pradesh, for alleged misconduct. The report speculated that the rumours were meant to weaken Mr. Rajnath Singh’s position in a turf war for the number two position in the Union Cabinet. As the government prepares to showcase its 100 days in office next week, the PMO got into damage control mode and swiftly issued a statement that the media report was “plain lies, motivated and constituted a malicious attempt at character assassination and tarnishing the image of the government.” Expressing “hurt” at the speculative stories, Mr.
