The government has identified 25 key sectors in which India has the potential of becoming a world leader. The key sectors include automobiles, chemicals, IT, pharmaceuticals, textiles, ports, aviation, leather, tourism and hospitality, wellness, and railways..
The campaign is aimed to transform the economy from the services-driven growth model to labour-intensive manufacturing-driven growth. This will help in creating jobs for over 10 million people, who join the workforce every year.
The initiative has its origin in the PM Modi’s Independence Day speech where he gave a clarion call to “Make in India” and “Zero Defect; Zero Effect” policy.
