Modi's Swadeshi push amid global uncertainty
Varanasi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi onSaturday called on citizens to adopt the spirit of "Swadeshi" and support locally-made products, stressing that true service to the nation lies in promoting indigenous goods, especially amid "global economic uncertainties". Addressing a public meeting in his parliamentary constituency Varanasi, Modi said, "As we talk about economic progress, I want to draw your attention to the current global scenario. "The world economy is facing instability and uncertainty. In such times, countries are focusing solely on their own interests. India, too, is on the path to becoming the world's third-largest economy and must remain alert to its own economic priorities." The Prime Minister's renewed push for 'Swadeshi' (indigenous) comes amid the US announcing tariffs on exports from about 70 nations, including India. According to the White House order, India now faces tariffs of 25 per cent for its exports to the US. Emphasising that farmers, small industries and employment for youths are the top-most priorities for the government, Modi said, "The government is doing everything possible in this direction. But as citizens, we too have responsibilities." Calling for a national movement to support local products, the Prime Minister said, "This is not just about Modi saying it, every Indian should say this -- if we want India to become the third-largest economy, every political party and every leader, keeping aside their hesitations, must work in the nation's interest and awaken the spirit of Swadeshi among the people." He also urged people to be conscious consumers, saying, "Whatever we buy, we should ask ourselves -- has an Indian toiled to make this? If it has been made by the sweat of our people, with their skills, that product is Swadeshi for us. We must adopt the mantra of 'Vocal for Local'." Making a special appeal to traders and shopkeepers, the Prime Minister said, "At a time when the world is going through uncertainty, let us take a pledge to sell only Swadeshi goods from our shops and markets. Promoting made in India goods will be the truest service to the country." With the festival and wedding seasons approaching, the prime minister encouraged people to ensure that all new purchases are made in India. He recalled how many citizens who were planning to hold wedding events abroad shifted them to India after his earlier appeal. "The feeling of Swadeshi in every action will define our future. This will also be a true tribute to Mahatma Gandhi. Only through collective effort can we fulfil the dream of a developed India," Modi said. The prime minister was addressing a massive public gathering on Saturday in Banauli village, Sevapuri, Varanasi. During his one-day visit to the city, he inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for 52 projects worth around Rs 2,200 crore. He also transferred Rs 20,500 crore directly into the bank accounts of over 9.70 crore farmers under the 20th installment of the PM-KISAN Samman Nidhi scheme. A short film showcasing the success and impact of the scheme on farmers was also screened during the event. The PM highlighted the government's farmer-centric policies in detail. He said the government is constantly working for the well-being of farmers. Under previous governments, promises made in the name of farmers were rarely fulfilled, but the BJP government delivers what it promises, he said. He cited the PM-KISAN Samman Nidhi as proof of the government's firm commitment and recalled how opposition parties like the Samajwadi Party and Congress had spread rumours in 2019, claiming the scheme would stop after elections or the money would be taken back. "Has a single installment stopped over the years? The PM-KISAN scheme is running without any break," he said. Presenting data, he shared that nearly Rs 3.75 lakh crore has been transferred directly to farmers' accounts so far. In Uttar Pradesh alone, 2.5 crore farmers have received over Rs 90,000 crore, while farmers from Kashi have got Rs 900 crore. Modi emphasised the transparency of the scheme, saying there are no cuts, commissions or middlemen. "We have created a permanent system where there's no leakage and no one can steal the rights of the poor," he added. Referring to his development mantra, "the more backward someone is, the higher the priority", the PM spoke about the newly approved PM Dhan Dhanya Agriculture Scheme, which will focus on underdeveloped districts with lower crop production and income.

Farmers' welfare top priority under PM Modi's leadership: Shivraj Chouhan
Union Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday said that the welfare of farmers is a top priority of the government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Addressing the gathering of farmers, officials and dignitaries in Patna, Agriculture Minister Chouhan said that with the help of the Direct Benefit Transfer scheme, the government is ensuring that the assistance reaches directly into the accounts of the farmers. "Earlier, farmers used to get only a few pennies of Re 1 sent by the government, but now they receive the whole amount without any leakage," the Agriculture Minister said here. The Union Minister reiterated Prime Minister Narendra Modi's resolve to make farming profitable. Over Rs. 3,77,000 crore has been transferred directly to the accounts of farmers under the PM-Kisan scheme so far. On this occasion, over Rs. 20,000 crore was deposited in the accounts of farmers, providing financial assistance to lakhs of farmer families across the country. Chouhan emphasised efforts like Pradhan Mantri Dhan Dhanya Yojana to increase agricultural productivity per hectare, especially in low productivity areas. He highlighted the significant contribution of Makhana production in Bihar and the continuous efforts to connect agricultural science with the farms. The Union Minister assured the timely and adequate availability of fertilisers and pesticides. He also informed about the efforts under various schemes to provide compensation in case of crop failure. He said that now the crops are procured at Minimum Support Price (MSP), to which 50 per cent profit is added on the production cost. This reflects the farmer-centric approach of the government. Highlighting the measures for farmers' welfare, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chouhan said that with the help of DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer), the government is ensuring that the assistance reaches directly into the accounts of the farmers. He said, "Earlier, farmers used to get only a few pennies of Rs. 1 sent by the government, but now they receive the whole amount without any leakage.

Delhi to have unified portal to issue licences to businesses
Delhi may soon get a unified application process and a single office with all departments under one roof for issuing licences to businesses, a move which will streamline business processes and improve 'ease of doing business' in the Capital, officials said on Saturday. Delhi lieutenant governor VK Saxena. (Vice-President of India-X) Lieutenant governor VK Saxena and chief minister Rekha Gupta jointly chaired a high-level review meeting to evaluate the progress of reforms on 'Ease of Living' and 'Ease of Doing Business' parameters on Saturday. The meeting comes in the wake of the Centre's directive urging states and union territories to expedite licensing reforms, officials said. The discussion focused on overhauling Delhi's complex licensing ecosystem with challenges such as fragmented databases, multiple authorities and burdensome fee structures that have long been a barrier to investment and a source of harassment for applicants. 'Initiatives like reducing the role of Delhi Police in granting licences in various categories, deemed permission by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) for factory licence, authority of the revenue department for cinema hall licences, 24X7 opening of shops and establishments and allowing women to work in night shifts, would go a long way in creating a business friendly environment in the national capital,' said Saxena. Key measures on the table included empanelment of third-party auditors for fire safety clearances, simplification of regulatory processes and introduction of a common application form for clearances across departments. Officials also proposed linking data systems of departments like MCD, New Delhi Municipal Council, labour, GST, DPCC and FSSAI to reduce duplication and streamline governance. Officials also discussed developing a unified portal for all licences by taking data of Shop and Establishment Act as base data, officials said. 'This portal encompassing all licences will significantly reduce red tape. Discussions also included rationalising MCD zones to align with revenue districts and requiring local departmental officers to report directly to district magistrates,' an official said. One of the most striking reforms under consideration is the adoption of the 'Tripura model' of self-certification for small industries with investment up to ₹2 crore, and third-party certification for larger enterprises. The city is also looking at extending 24x7 operational permissions for shops and establishments, officials said. Gupta called on officials to fast-track the reforms, emphasising that multiple licensing authorities were a source of unnecessary public hardship. She also asked the chief secretary to explore creation of unified office complexes in each district to co-locate all relevant government departments for public convenience. 'The reforms being carried out under the Prime Minister's guidance will firmly position Delhi as a prime investment destination,' said Gupta, while the LG praised the Delhi government's initiatives to curtail outdated procedures and bring governance closer to the people.
