• Distinguished dignitaries, representatives of Swadesh Jagran Manch, participating entrepreneurs, exhibitors, volunteers, students, and dear students

Aaj yahan, Swadeshi Mahotsav, ka hissa banne ki, mujhe bohat khushi hai. Main yahan maujood, sabhi logon ko, badhai deta hoon, jo Swadeshi ki spirit, aur Bharat ki, rich cultural heritage, ko celebrate karne, ke liye, ek saath, aaye hain.

Swadeshi Mahotsav, hamare desh ki, enterprise, craftsmanship, aur cultural diversity, ko ek platform par, laane ka ek, behtareen prayas hai.

Bharat ke artisans, local producers, women entrepreneurs, startups, aur young innovators, hamari economy ko, strengthen karne mein, important role, play kar rahe hain. Unki skills, creativity, aur enterprise, India ki growth story, ka ek important, part hain.

Swadeshi ka, hamare freedom movement mein bhi, bahut bada, contribution raha hai. Us samay Swadeshi, self-reliance, aur apni capabilities, par, pride ka symbol, bana. Aaj bhi, iska relevance, utna hi hai. Swadeshi ka matlab, sirf local products, purchase karna nahi, balki, apni production, ko strengthen karna, innovation ko, encourage karna, aur Indian products, ko globally competitive, banana hai.

Our Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi Ji, has consistently emphasized, “Vocal for Local”, aur “Atmanirbhar Bharat”. Unka message bilkul clear hai — Indian products ki, quality, affordability, aur competitiveness, ko improve karna, equally important hai.

Hamare artisans, aur traditional producers, ke paas, generations se, developed skills, aur knowledge hai. Zaroorat hai, ki hum, in traditions, ko preserve, karte hue, modern technology, better design, aur digital platforms, ke through, unhe naye markets, tak le jayein.

Dear students, aap sab is Mahotsav, ke important stakeholders hain. Universities sirf education, ke centersnahi, balki innovation, aur entrepreneurship, ke bhi centres, hain. Main aap sabko, encourage karunga, ki local products, aur traditional skills, mein naye business opportunities dekhein, technology ka use karein, aur aise enterprises, build karein, jo employment aur economic growth, mein contribute kar sakein.

Swadeshi ka matlab, duniya se alag hona, nahi hai. Iska matlab hai, apni capabilities, ko itna strong banana, ki hum global markets mein confidence, ke saath, compete kar sakein.

Yahi approach, Viksit Bharat 2047 ke vision, ko realise karne, mein important role, play karegi — ek aisa Bharat, jahan innovation ho, enterprises grow karein, skilled youth, ko opportunities milen, aur development, ka benefit, society ke har section, ko mile.

Main Swadeshi Mahotsav, 2026, ke organizers ko, is initiative, ke liye badhai, deta hoon. Aasha hai, ki ye Mahotsav naye ideas, meaningful partnerships, aur local producers, ke liye naye opportunities, ka platform banega.

Thank You.

Jai Hind.
