Make in India concept to change people's mindset: Sitharaman

Says state governments and the corporate sector were important stake holders in improving the country's growth rate

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Make in India campaign was aimed at changing the mindset of the people to tap their entrepreneurial potential, Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said.

“The campaign will be successful only if there is effective co-ordination between the Centre and state governments,” she said, while delivering a speech on ‘Commerce policy for the future of India’ at a programme organised by the Mangaluru Initiative for Nationalist Dialogue (MIND).

She said state governments and the corporate sector were important stake holders in improving the country’s growth rate. The revamp of the Planning Commission and formation of NITI Aayog was being criticised without studying facts, she added.
