RSS Sarkaryawah (general secretary) Bhaiyyaji Joshi on Monday called for promoting decentralised production of daily use items in villages, in furtherance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ plan.

Joshi was addressing a virtual programme organised by the Swadeshi Jagran Manch to felicitate women entrepreneurs. “A list of daily use products required by big cities should be prepared and such products should be manufactured in neighbouring villages,” Joshi suggested.

He said India always had a tradition of village industries and called for training village youths in producing such items to prevent migration to cities. “The Covid-19 crisis has seen huge movement of migrant labourers across the country. This should prompt us to rethink our strategies. Major industries are necessary to produce certain things but we can produce other things in small units in a decentralised manner,” said Joshi.
