India's thrust is for self-reliance, self-confidence and self-protection to protect our interests: Piyush Goyal

Union Minister Piyush Goyal details India's three-pronged approach of self-reliance, self-confidence, and self-protection to secure national interests and build global partnerships.

"India's thrust is for Self-Reliance to secure our supply chains; Self-Confidence to aim for big goals; and Self-Protection to protect the interests of India - Piyush Goyal"

New Delhi, September 30

India's thrust is for Self-Reliance (Atmanirbhar) to secure our supply chains; Self-Confidence (Atmavishwas) to aim for big goals; and Self-Protection (Atmaraksha) to protect the interests of India, said Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal on Tuesday.

According to an official release from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, delivering the address at the Curtain Raiser event for the 30th CII Partnership Summit in New Delhi, the Minister underlined that great partnerships are built on technology, trust, trade, talent, and tradition.

He elaborated that Atmanirbharata is about building resilient supply and value chains that can withstand global shocks, avoid the weaponisation of trade, and ensure that India is always in a position to meet its international obligations.

On Atmavishwas, Goyal said that India today engages with the world from a position of strength, with the confidence to pursue ambitious goals while partnering as an equal stakeholder in the global economy. Atmaraksha, he added, is about safeguarding Indians and protecting the larger interests of mankind, in line with the G20 Summit theme of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam-- "One World, One Family, One Future."

The Minister noted that the day coincided with Durgashtami, symbolising strength, resilience, and the triumph of good over evil. He remarked that in a world of turbulence, volatility, and uncertainty, India stands as an oasis--the world's fastest growing economy, driven by young aspirational citizens striving for a better quality of life and committed to making the world a better place. He welcomed dignitaries and participants from across the globe.

Highlighting the contribution of Andhra Pradesh in India's development journey, Goyal commended Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu for promoting technology-driven governance, pioneering the high-tech city in Hyderabad, and working towards the creation of a modern capital at Amaravati. He added that Andhra Pradesh is the only state in India with three upcoming industrial corridors at Krishnapatnam, Orvakal, and Kopparthy.

The Minister also emphasised that the recent overhaul of the GST system will simplify processes, reduce the tax burden on consumers, and give a strong boost to the consumption-led growth of the Indian economy.

Looking ahead to the 30th CII Partnership Summit in Visakhapatnam, Goyal expressed confidence that India, along with its international partners, can build stronger and more resilient collaborations. He underlined that CII continues to play a vital role as a bridge between India and the global community.

In his address, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu invited investors to attend the Partnership Summit in Vishakhapatnam in November and explore investment opportunities in Andhra Pradesh.

As someone working in manufacturing, I've seen firsthand how important resilient supply chains are. The focus on avoiding weaponization of trade is crucial in today's geopolitical climate.

Love how Goyal connected this with Durgashtami and Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. It shows our ancient wisdom is still relevant in modern governance. More leaders should draw from our cultural roots! 🙏

While the vision sounds good, I hope this isn't just empty rhetoric. We need to see actual implementation on the ground - better infrastructure, easier business regulations, and support for MSMEs.

The GST overhaul mentioned here could be a game-changer if implemented properly. Simplifying tax processes will definitely boost consumption and economic growth. Good to see focus on practical reforms.

The emphasis on "engaging with the world from a position of strength" reflects India's growing global stature. As an NRI, it's heartening to see India asserting itself confidently on the world stage.
