Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing Gen Z on Instagram, reiterated his call for Indians to embrace “swadeshi” by avoiding unnecessary gold purchases and destination weddings abroad. He urged people to follow the “Vocal for Local” and “Wed in India” mantras, saying such choices would strengthen India’s self-reliance. Modi also highlighted India’s 7.8% GDP growth in the first quarter of 2026-27 despite global uncertainty, wars and disrupted supply chains. He said greater emphasis on self-reliance would help India realise the aspirations of the next generation and become a developed nation by the centenary of Independence.
