JAMSHEDPUR – The Swadeshi Jagran Manch’s metropolitan district conference took place at Tulsi Bhavan, with Shri Deepak Sharma Pradeep, the All India Co-Organization Chief, and Shri Amrendra Kumar Singh, the regional coordinator, as chief guests.
The program commenced with lighting a lamp in front of Bharat Mata and offering flowers.
In the opening session, Shri Deepak Sharma Pradeep emphasized that India’s history dates back 70,000 years and has provided the world with knowledge, industry, philosophy, spirituality, yoga, and development paths.
He noted that the 1991 economic shift brought foreign technology, promising development and job opportunities but led to a model that was ultimately destructive and anti-employment.
India’s development has always followed a sustainable model with the principles of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas,’ which ensures inclusive growth and well-being.
He highlighted that only 7% of jobs in India are in the organized sector, with the remaining 93% in the unorganized sector, which provides employment opportunities based on local conditions.
Examples included 3 crore fishermen, 8 crore people dependent on dairy, 3 crore masons, and 1.1 crore small and large entrepreneurs employing 8 crore people.
He stated that India’s vast agricultural land could provide organic food for 400 crore people.
