India has to become self-reliant for its empowerment and its people have both the ability and strength to face the challenge collectively, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said on Sunday. Birla made the remark while delivering a lecture on “Self-reliant India, Able India” at Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay National Memorial near Dhankya railway station.
“The country has the ability and strength to collectively face challenges. Due to corona, world economies were shaken and their health infrastructure collapsed, but India fought the pandemic collectively,” he said. Referring to the Chinese goods virtually capturing the Indian markets till recently, Birla said the country’s over-dependence on other countries has begun decreasing, thanks to the people’s ability to take up challenges. “We were not having production capacity as per the demand, but within such a short time, we worked to change all those things. It happens due to thoughts, it happens with determination, he said.
