Kohima, November 18 (MExN): Nagaland Health & Family Welfare, Minister, P Paiwang Konyak today emphasized that local products embody a community’s culture, skills and stories, while strengthening the economy from within, reducing external dependency and creating sustainable livelihoods.
Speaking at the Atmanirbhar Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan – Vidhansabha Sammelan organized by 41 A/C Tizit Mandal on November 18, Paiwang said self-sustenance begins when people value what they have and invest in their own communities.
He highlighted that promoting locally grown, crafted and produced goods preserves identity and empowers farmers, artisans and entrepreneurs.
Urging the gathering to take pride in local produce, he called for encouraging innovation and prioritizing local goods in every household, market and institution. “Together, we can build strong, independent and self-reliant communities,” he said.
The minister added that actions must speak louder than promises and that every reform should move the nation closer to a self-reliant and compassionate India.
