In a bid to promote Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) and push India’s ‘Make in India’ cause, the government’s procurement portal, Government e-Marketplace (GeM), has made it mandatory for sellers to mention ‘country of origin’ on products they wish to sell through the platform. The Government e-Marketplace (GEM) has also enabled a provision for the indication of the percentage of local content in products with a view to promote ‘Make in India’. “GeM has taken a significant step towards Aatmanirbhar Bharat and has made it mandatory for sellers to enter the country of origin while registering all new products on GeM,” the portal’s CEO Talleen Kumar told news agency PTI. Sellers, who had already uploaded their products before the introduction of this new feature on GeM, are being reminded regularly to update the country of origin, with a warning that their products will be “removed” from the platform if they fail to update the same, he said. “With this new feature, now, the c...

  अगर किसी दुकानदार से हमारा छोटा सा भी झगड़ा हो जाता है तो हम जीवन भर उसकी दुकान से सामान खरीदना बंद कर देते हैं । शायद मैंने सही कहा है। थोड़ा विचार कीजिए भारत और चीन की सीमा पर इतना बड़ा विवाद चल रहा है और सभी उससे अवगत है यह विवाद चीन द्वारा ही प्रारंभ हुआ है तो क्या हम उनके वस्तुओं का बॉयकॉट (बहिष्कार) करके इनको सबक नहीं सिखा सकते। ध्यान रहे - यह युद्ध बॉर्डर पर लड़ने से ज्यादा चीन के सामानों का बहिष्कार करके जीता जा सकता है,प्रण करिए प्रयास करिए ज्यादा से ज्यादा स्वदेशी वस्तुओं का उपयोग करने का। #Boycott_Chinese_products जय हिंद 🇮🇳 --------------------------------------------------------------   If we get even a little quarrel with a shopkeeper, then we stop buying goods from his shop for life.  Maybe I have said it right.  Think a little, there is such a big dispute on the border of India and China and everyone is aware that this dispute has started by China, so can we not teach them a lesson by boycotting their goods.  Keep in mind - This war can be won...

True self-reliance won’t come from relentless industrialisation, but from localisation and decentralisation, as demonstrated by these remarkable stories of empowered rural communities . Not so long ago, Dalit women farmers in Telangana used to face hunger and deprivation. Today, they have contributed foodgrains for pandemic relief. Farmers on the Tamil Nadu-Karnataka border have been sending organic produce to Bengaluru even during the lockdown. And Adivasi villages in central India are using community funds to take care of migrant workers who have returned home. These inspiring stories show the potential of empowered rural communities to cope with crisis. And they expose the tragedy of a path of ‘ development ’ and governance that has not recognised or, worse, taken away the extraordinary agency of ordinary villagers to manage their lives. Take Chandramma , who grows 40 varieties of crops, chemical free, on her rainfed plot in Bidakanne village in the Medak district...

  Self Reliance is defined by The Free Dictionary as the “Reliance on one’s own capabilities, judgment, or resources; independence” . Most searches of the term “self-reliance” on the Internet also return this description.  “Self-Reliance is an essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson .” In his notorious essay, written in 1841 , Emerson himself defined self-reliance as “the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his or her own instincts and ideas”. One of Emerson’s most famous quotations went like this, “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.” Or, as Albert Einstein famously coined about insanity, “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”. Self-reliance is based on the fundamental belief that you can, and should, change and control your circumstances. I have and so can you. Sel...
