What Is AatmaNirbhar Bharat ?

Aatma = self, nirbhar = reliance, aatma nirbhar = self reliance. Self reliance is the backbone of any country and its development. No country in today’s world is totally self-reliant as it does not produce everything that the country needs for its citizens or its industries or economic activities. And because of this most countries have to import something or the other by way of material, energy or labour. India has most foodstuffs, raw materials and labour but does not have adequate energy or crude oil that run factories and means of transport. So we have to import from the oil producing nations. What the pm meant by self-reliance is that what we do not produce adequately, we must produce enough so that we do not have any shortfalls or we can even export to other countries and earn forex and become exporters too. And what we do not have, let us look at avenues to produce these or get it from some other sources instead of depending on just a few who may dictate terms to us. Running a country is like running one’s immediate family or a business.
