Uttar Pradesh became a symbol of industrial revolution
Rajnath Singh said that this inauguration of PTC Industries is a symbol of industrial revolution in Uttar Pradesh. He said that a few years ago it was difficult to imagine that Uttar Pradesh would become a center of defense and high-tech manufacturing.
Praising Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, he said that strong law and order, investor-friendly policies and transparent functioning of the government have increased the confidence of investors.
Rajnath Singh said that now investors are not afraid in Uttar Pradesh. This project will accelerate the development of manufacturing hubs in cities like Lucknow, Kanpur, Prayagraj, Rewari and Banaras, so that the youth will not have to go out for employment.
New strength in defense and aerospace sector
The Defense Minister said that titanium and super alloy materials are extremely important in defence, aerospace, electronics and medical equipment. Now India will be able to produce these materials and important components itself, which will strengthen technological sovereignty and the self-reliant India mission. Rajnath Singh said that this plant is not just making machines or materials, but is laying the foundation of India’s technological self-reliance.
Employment, training and innovation opportunities
This project will create direct and indirect employment opportunities for thousands of people. Along with this, MSMEs and startups of the region will get technical support and training. Rajnath Singh said that students of IITs, Polytechnics and engineering colleges will get opportunities to learn and work from this project. This will also give the youth experience of modern technology.
India now in the era of “Design, Develop and Deliver in India”
The Defense Minister said that now India is not limited to Make in India only. The country has entered a new era of “Design, Develop and Deliver in India”. He called upon the youth and innovators to be a part of this new defense industry ecosystem and realize the possibilities of the future.
Emphasis on green technology and sustainable development
Rajnath Singh said that in this project, special attention has been given to green technology, energy efficiency and sustainable growth. He said that it is very important to maintain the balance of natural resources with the development of technology. When the government and industry work with this thinking, then India will become the global hub of defense manufacturing.
India’s growing identity at the international level
The Defense Minister said that recently in Australia he got to hear praise for Indian defense and economic development. He said that today the world listens to India seriously and India’s international status has become stronger than ever.
He asked the engineers and employees to maintain this momentum and enthusiasm, so that India can become more technologically powerful.
