He said that the world-class train project was meant to go to Japan, Germany, and France.

“The Prime Minister gave very clear directions that Indian brains will design world-class trains and Indian hands will manufacture them. This led to the manufacturing of the ‘Vande Bharat’ train in India,” the Union Minister said.

Vaishnaw, while highlighting the key areas attended in ensuring the much-needed boost to the Indian electronics and IT sector, said that Indian started its hands in technology development and became the producer of technology, instead of remaining the consumer.

Secondly, an eco-system was developed for manufacturing, and thirdly, the country maintained diversity and launched a variety of solutions with a variety of people joining the journey.
“India is grown stronger, and become ‘Atm Nirbhar’,” he said.
