Spirit of 'Vocal for Local' now taking our products to global markets: PM Modi
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 25 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that the spirit of 'Vocal for Local' is now taking Indian products to global markets, while reiterating the call to choose 'Swadeshi' during the ongoing festive season to further the resolve of an 'Atmanirbhar Bharat'. Addressing the 139th episode of his monthly radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat', PM Modi said, During this festive season, you must have noticed a shift in your surroundings. People are now placing great importance on Swadeshi products while shopping. This spirit of 'Vocal for Local' is now taking our products to global markets. Giving examples, he mentioned how 'makhana' from Bihar's Purnia is now reaching Greece, and 'arhar dal' from Kalaburagi in Karnataka is being exported to the Maldives. New global markets are opening up for India's farmers, he added. While discussing local products, I would like to draw your attention to another important aspect: the packaging of a product is just as significant as its quality. Often, when we see an item in the market, it is its attractive packaging that draws us to pick it up. We want to know about a product just by looking at its packaging, the Prime Minister said, adding that there is now an increasing emphasis on packaging. In Maharashtra, PM Modi mentioned that tribal communities have placed a strong focus on the packaging of the products they create. Through an initiative called 'Shabari Naturals', he mentioned that products like honey, mahua, chironji and bamboo-based items are being brought to the market, reflecting ribal art. You will be pleased to know that this packaging has received Japan's prestigious 'Good Design Award'. Our youth are also experimenting anew in this field; a 'bamboo' start-up in Karnataka is creating packaging material from bamboo and agricultural residue, he said. Talking about the Khadi products, the Prime Minister said, This time on Gandhi Jayanti, sales of the products of Khadi Gram Udyog exceeded Rs 28 crore in a single day. It is an increase of Rs 1.5 crore over the previous year. This means that the popularity of Khadi continues to grow, and the benefits are reaching those whose skills and hard work bring items like Khadi and various handicrafts to life. Reiterating the call to adopt Swadeshi, PM Modi said, During the festive season, we often buy many things for our families and loved ones. This time too, do prioritise products made by local artisans when you shop; your purchases will boost their morale. This sense of affection will further strengthen the 'Vocal for Local' movement. As this movement gains momentum, the dream of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' will be realised all the faster. For that, I personally urge you to prioritise and highlight products crafted by local artisans, he added.

Adani Group refutes social media claims over alleged tree felling near Bhimashankar Temple
Digital Desk | Ahmedabad, Oct 25 (IANS) The Adani Group has refuted social media claims linking the Group to alleged tree felling near the Bhimashankar Temple in Maharashtra's Pune district, calling them false and misleading as they have no project in the area. In a statement posted on X, a company spokesperson said the videos circulating on social media linking Adani Group to alleged tree felling and displacement near the Bhimashankar Temple are false, misleading and fabricated. The group has no project, proposed or ongoing, in the area or its vicinity, and is in no way associated with the activities depicted in the circulating videos, according to an Adani Group spokesperson. We strongly urge everyone to verify facts and refrain from sharing false and unverified content, the spokesperson added. The Adani Group statement came in response to misleading social media posts. Meanwhile, Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL) has planted more than 1.6 million trees and saplings across 568 hectares at the Parsa East and Kanta Basan (PEKB) mine in Chhattisgarh's Surguja district, transforming the area into a green landscape. Once an active mining site, the area has now been transformed into a lush green landscape. Under the ecological restoration, 40 trees are planted for every tree removed for mining activities. Native species, including Sal, Mahua, Tendu, Amaltas and Sidha have been replanted, with the company reporting a survival rate of about 88 per cent. AEL operates the mine as developer and operator for Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd (RVUNL). According to officials, its greening project has demonstrated how mined land can be restored after coal extraction. It aims to increase the green cover to more than 4 million trees by the end of the decade. The Adani Group has also developed a 3.5-hectare nursery, housing about 5,00,000 saplings and achieved successful regeneration of Sal forests in the area. According to officials, it has undertaken compensatory afforestation across more than 4,000 hectares in the Surguja, Korea, Balrampur and Surajpur forest divisions, while over Rs 259 crore has been deposited with the Chhattisgarh government towards afforestation, wildlife management and other environmental measures.
