"We have stopped all the activities of life, but the crisis has also provided an opportunity to take some serious and important decisions. 'Vocal for Local' is also a similar task, which is the need of the country and time," he said.

The governor said it is only with the determination and conviction of 135 crore people of the country, "vocal for local" concept can become successful and local can be turned into global.

He said the campaign of "vocal for local" will strengthen the sense of pride in the companies of the country and will also encourage them to make better products.

"Heavy investment is required to overcome the current economic crisis. Buying Indian products will give a huge boost to the Indian economy," Mishra added.
