Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today stressed that India must remain proactive, ahead of the curve and future-ready in today’s rapidly-evolving world. Addressing the gathering during the fourth edition of Indian Navy’s Swavlamban seminar in New Delhi, the Minister asserted that India is entering a golden era of defence innovation, and its foundation is being laid by innovators and young entrepreneurs. He credited the innovators for coming forth with path-breaking solutions and helping the nation emerge as a builder, creator and leader and not merely a buyer.
The Minister said indigenisation movement being witnessed in the country today is not just due to policy, but due to the hard work of all stakeholders. He further stated that as a result, India is making giant strides towards becoming a technology exporter from an importer.
