Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the rise in export of Indian
toys and said the number of toys coming from abroad in India is
continuously decreasing, Trend reports.
In the 91st edition of his monthly ‘Mann Ki Baat’ broadcast over
All India Radio, the Prime Minister said, “In one episode of ‘Mann
Ki Baat’ I had said that India has full potential to become a
Powerhouse in Toys Exports.”
“Today, when it comes to Indian toys, the echo of Vocal for Local
is being heard everywhere. You will also like to know that now the
number of toys coming from abroad in India is continuously
decreasing. Earlier, where toys worth more than Rs 3,000 crore used
to come from outside, now their import has reduced by 70 per cent
and it is a matter of joy that during this period, India has
exported toys worth more than Rs 2,600 crore to foreign countries.
Whereas earlier, only toys worth Rs 300-400 crore used to go out of
India. And you already know that all this happened during the
Corona period,” Modi said.
The Prime Minister said India’s toy sector has proven its mettle by
transforming itself.
“Indian Manufacturers are now making toys based on Indian
Mythology, History and Culture. Toy clusters that are there
everywhere in the country, small entrepreneurs who make toys, are
getting a lot of benefit from it. The toys made by these small
entrepreneurs are now going around the world. Toy manufacturers
from India are also working closely with the world’s leading Global
Toy Brands,” Modi said.
He said the country’s start-up sector is also paying full attention
to the world of toys.
The Prime Minister urged the parents to buy more and more Indian
Toys, Puzzles and Games.
