Answer:
Atmanirbhar Bharat (transl. self-reliant India) is the vision of the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi of making India a self-reliant nation. The first mention of this came in the form of the 'Atmanirbhar Bharata Abhiyan' or 'Self-Reliant India Mission' during the announcement of the coronavirus pandemic related economic package on 12 May 2020.[1] This self-reliant policy does not aim to be protectionist in nature and as the Finance Minister clarified, "self-reliant India does not mean cutting off from rest of the world".[2] The law and IT minister, Ravi Shankar Prasad, said that self-reliance does "not mean isolating away from the world. Foreign direct investment is welcome, technology is welcome [...] self-reliant India... translates to being a bigger and more important part of the global economy."[3]
As part of the Atmanirbhar Bharat package, numerous government decisions have taken place such as changing the definition of MSMEs,[4] boosting scope for private participation in numerous sectors,[5] increasing FDI in the defence sector;[5] and the vision has found support in many sectors such as the solar manufacturers sector.[6]
Examples of initiatives helping Atmanirbhar Bharat:
The growth of India's personal protective equipment (PPE) sector from zero before March, to 1,50,000 pieces a day by the beginning of May, is considered as a fine example of a self-reliant India.[7][8] The PPE industry in India has become a ₹7,000 crore (US$980 million) in two months, the second largest after China.[9]
The largest fund in the country worth ₹21,000 crore (US$2.9 billion) was setup by the IIT Alumni Council with the aim of supporting the mission towards self-reliance.[10]
India's own 'Made in India' 5G network was also announced in July 2020 by Reliance Jio.[11] Mukesh Ambani announced in mid-July "Jio has created a complete 5G solution from scratch, that will enable us to launch a world-class 5G service in India, using 100 per cent homegrown technologies and solutions".[11]
For the first time, in July 2020, it was announced that Apple would manufacturer one of their premium iPhone models in India.[12]
