reliant India does not mean cutting 
off from rest of the world".

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."

package, numerous government 
decisions have taken place such as

participation in numerous sectors,
