Atmanirbharta mindset needed to deal with global turbulence: MEA Dr Jaishankar

Dr S Jaishankar, Union Minister of External Affairs, on Wednesday said that Atmanirbharta mindset is essential to deal with global turbulence and to lay the foundation for Viksit Bharat.

""We are a civilizational state, a society that has withstood the test of time and nurtured its culture, traditions, and heritage. Our real strengths have been our people and their self-belief. We have overcome adversities and we have addressed multiple challenges in the journey towards progress and prosperity. We have so much to be proud of and so much to share with the world... While we will always benefit by such openness, it is essential in times of unpredictability to stand firmly on our own feet. Atmanirbharta is, of course, the mindset to deal with global turbulence. But it is also the basis to strengthen our self-confidence, to increase our resilience, and to lay the foundation for Viksit Bharat..." said Dr Jaishankar.
