Before he embarks on the much talked about US trip, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched the 'Make in India' campaign, an initiative to boost manufacturing by easing business processes and attracting foreign companies to set up factories in India and invest in the country's infrastructure. 

Here are the top ten takeaways from his speech: 
 
 
1. FDI for me is First Develop India and then Foreign Direct Investment
 
2. Want to take India higher on Ease-of-Doing-Business Index. Industrialists don't come because of incentives, need to create development and growth-oriented environment
 
3. Who is the Government for? It is for every Indian..It is for the poorest of the poor
 
 
4. The world is looking at Asia. I do not have to waste time to invite people. I need to give them the address.
 
5. Governance should be aimed at digital government  in fact why not Mobile governance. We need to focus on Digital India to ease business through easy governance. With a digital India, there will be easy governance
 
6.  I do not only talk about good governance. I talk about effective governance. Effective governance, easy governance need of the hour
 
7. When we talk of a "Look East" policy, we must also talk about "Link West". Both need to work simultaneously
 
8.Make-In-India is a Lion's Step': Its Symbol is a Lion Made of Cogs
 
9. Financial inclusion plan has worked wonders. See the trust of country men even after a zero balance account  till now 40 million new bank accounts opened in Jan Dhan Yojana (in just a month) and Rs. 1500 crores deposited.
 
10. Nobody can question the talent of our people especially after yesterday's Mars mission.
