2. WHY MAKE IN INDIA INITIATIVES?
India is a big hub of various raw materials, which are used to manufacture various products. At present raw
materialsare beingexportedtoforeigncountriesthentheseraw materialsare convertedthere intofinishedgood
and then finished goods are imported by India. It is like someone taking our product and selling to us on higher
rate.While inMII,the foreigncountriesare beinginvitedtoestablishtheirownmanufactureunitinIndia,take raw
materialsfromhere andsell finishedgoodsfromIndia.The ideabehindit,toreduce finishedgoodsprice,increase
employment and move India towards development.
