The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has released special modules on Swadeshi, a theme that has featured prominently in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speeches.

Two modules — Swadeshi: Vocal for Local (for middle stage) and Swadeshi: For a Self-Reliant India (for secondary stage) — carry excerpts from the Prime Minister’s Independence Day address in which he stressed that self-reliance would drive India’s journey towards Viksit Bharat.

The modules highlight India’s achievements in space, defence and health through self-reliance.
