‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ (Self Reliant India): Economic and Security Implications

Situation assessment as on 24/01/2022 | Price: Rs 600/-

PM Modi’s call for an ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ (self reliant India)  on 12 May 2020 has become the new ‘mantra’ for growth. He made a distinction between self-reliance and being self-centred in a globalised world. The study examines long term implications for India’s growth as well as security - whether it is a protectionist approach; that internal demand not strong enough; that back to ‘subsidy raj’ will weaken economy; also, a strong defence of the programme.  The study examines implications of self reliance in Defence; that forced localisation is a form of protectionism in the absence of a defence industrial base.
