The Brand India initiative is an idea where government and industry will partner with each other and we will develop both on the Make in India side and overall Brand India side,” said Goyal.”The programme will lead to USD 300 billion addition to our manufacturing ecosystem. This will certainly add lakhs of job opportunities and create scale and quality in different sectors,” he added.The Union Minister also said, under the Brand India initiative, consumers both in India and internationally will be educated about products which are made in India.”We are pushing all industry to certify the Make in India products.

It’s time now that India demonstrates to the world our leadership position and commitment of quality,” said Goyal.”I think it is time that India demonstrates to the world, our leadership position and commitment of quality. Once a product is branded an Indian brand, it should demonstrate to the world that it is of superior quality,” he added.Earlier today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also addressed the 93rd Annual Convention of FICCI.
