Make in India
This was basically a slogan to attract the global world to invest and manufacture in India. It then became
an international marketing campaign. ‘Make in India’ campaign was initiated so that India has ample job
opportunities and the economy gets a boost. ‘Make in India’ seeks to make India self-reliant country. It
also aims to allow FDI in the country as well as bring back to health the loss-making government firms.
The Make in India campaign is completely under the central government, in which the government has
identified 25 major sectors which have the potential of becoming a global leader.
The Make in India logo is derived from India’s national emblem. The wheel denotes the peaceful
progress and dynamism – a sign from India’s enlightened past, pointing the way to a vibrant future. The
prowling lion stands for strength, courage, tenacity and wisdom – values that are every bit as Indian
today as they have ever been.
