RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat emphasized the importance of a “Swadeshi” economic model during the RSS Centenary Year celebrations. He highlighted the need for voluntary global interdependence, free from trade wars or tariff pressures. Bhagwat clarified that Swadeshi does not imply isolationism but rather prioritizes local production and protection of livelihoods.
He called for a balanced development model focusing on self-reliance, environmental sustainability, and Dharma-based economics. Bhagwat urged individuals to adopt Swadeshi habits in daily life, including using native languages, traditional attire, and supporting local industries.
Bhagwat encouraged families to visit Indian heritage sites, wear traditional clothing, and reduce reliance on foreign products. He stressed the significance of maintaining Indian traditions, language, and environmental ethics in personal and family life. The RSS chief emphasized the need for innovation and self-reliance to ensure prosperity even in the face of global challenges.
