Current efforts on sustainable green growth in the manufacturing sector to complement "make in India" for making "self-reliant India"

In an effort to become a global manufacturing giant, India has launched an ambitious "Make in India" campaign. In this article, we discussed the initiatives launched by Indian Government to create a sustainable economy, as well as opportunities for national and international start-up organisations to reinforce "Make in India" campaign. For the first time, we present an in-depth discussion of Green India policies and manufacturing sector challenges. The aim is to improve the manufacturing output of India and reduce dependence on foreign imports for which campaigns like "Atmanirbhar Bharat" which translates into "Self-Reliant-Green" India has also been started. Department of Science & Technology play a key role in establishing various programs such as infrastructure development, technological support, and green manufacturing programs all of which help to translate "discovery research" into "commercially viable technologies". It focuses specifically on "Startups", MSME's, young scientists, R&D labs and traditional manufacturing units that have little access to financial support but are an integral part of the Indian manufacturing ambit. The programs are interconnected and designed to function in a way that every support could be provided to the indigenous manufacturing, innovation and implementation of climateresilient green growth strategies.
