After his widely acclaimed make in India drive, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has struck an emotional chord by calling for a “wed in India” campaign.
Alongside the wed in India drive, Modi said his government is preparing a theme-based tourism scheme in India. Efforts are underway to introduce the world to the rich nature and heritage of the country. In this endeavour, the uttarkhand tourism will emerge as a strong brand. “Here there are nature, culture and heritage. Everything is here. Yog, ayurved, adventure sports have tremendous potential,” he said. Exploit this potential and turn them into opportunities. This should be the priority,” he asked the businessmen at a global summit in Dehradun on Friday.
Senior Congress leader and former Chef Minister Harish Rawat appreciated Modi for the wed in India campaign. “After reading today’s newspapers, I am feeling good. This is not merely for the wed in India. In the past few years, the Indian businessmen are making investments abroad. The Prime Minister has also sent a message to these businessmen to invest in India,” Rawat said in a social media post.
Modi called upon the rich people of the country to organize the marriages in India only instead of going abroad. “Why are you travelling abroad for marriages? Just like make in India, there should be a new campaign wed in India”, He said. In the next five years, at least one destination wedding should be organized in Uttarakhand, he said. If only 5000 such weddings are organized in Uttarkahnd in one year it will give rise to new infrastructure in the state, Modi said. Through this move, Uttarakhand will emerge as a new wedding destination of India, he said.
Meanwhile, a host of BJP leader s also took to X to laud the Prime Minister for his wed in India campaign. A section of people also showered praise saying it should be a wed in India movement now.
In one such high-profile wedding abroad that had also set a trend, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma got married in a picturesque setting in Florence, Italy which cost them a whopping over Rs 100 crore in 2017. Ends
