Gadkari: Knowledge and Waste Key to 'Atmanirbhar Bharat'
Nitin Gadkari, a government minister, talked about how India can become self-reliant, meaning it depends less on other countries.
He suggested two main ideas.
First, turn knowledge into money by using science and technology.
Second, use all waste materials to create value, which helps the environment and creates jobs.
Gadkari said renewable energy like biofuel can be a part of these plans.
He also mentioned that India imports a lot of fossil fuels, and using alternatives would create more jobs and wealth within India.
Also, with the introduction of electric vehicles, India's automobile industry has risen from the seventh position to the third in the world.
Nitin Gadkari shared two philosophies for India's self-reliance.
He emphasized 'knowledge to wealth' and 'no material is waste'.
Converting knowledge to wealth is key to the country's future.
Creating value from waste can reduce pollution and imports.
India imports a large amount of fossil fuels.
