New Delhi, March 27

Narendra Modi, PM, today said India achieving its export target of USD 400 billion (Rs 30 lakh crore) this fiscal shows that the demand for its items was increasing all over the world, and asserted that when every Indian gets ‘vocal for local’, it does not take much time for the “local to become global”.

In his “Mann Ki Baat” programme, he noted the government purchased items worth over Rs 1 lakh crore in a year through government e-market with close to 1.25 lakh small entrepreneurs having sold their goods directly to them.

He urged entrepreneurs of startups in the health sector, especially in Ayush-related field, to propagate their products also in languages for audiences in countries who don’t speak English. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
