You are a brand ambassador of Make in India, yoga and Ayurveda, Indian cottage industries and handicraft, millets.”
“Today India is being looked at with hope and curiosity. India’s voice is being heard on the global stage. India is also the host of this year’s G20. We do not want to make it only a diplomatic event, but an event of people’s participation,” the Prime Minister said.

He said the convention is being held on a land, which is called “heart of the country”. “People say Indore is a city but I say it’s a ‘daur’ (race) which walks ahead of time but carries heritage along with it.
