Hi All,

At the onset, I would like to thank you all, for playing a part in making this country a strong nation. Although this is a long race, we have had a good start by channelising our thoughts before we transform them into action.

I wanted to keep all of you informed about some initiatives taken by online retailers and government bodies to include "country of origin" in their product descriptions.

Enclosing a news stream to keep you updated.

Also I do understand many of you have tried casting your vote, unfortunately due to technical glitches in the site, were not able to do so. I have been working with the site administrators to get this fixed. However since it is run by a non profit organization, there are some challenges faced getting them fixed. If you know anyway outside this approach to fix the issue, please let me know. It will be most appreciated.

Before I close my update, I would request each one us to pursue ways to make this country "aatmanirbhar" (even in the smallest possible way). After all, we the people are the drivers of this magnificent nation. Let us take it forward, the way, each one of us envision it.

Jai Hind!
