At NITI Aayog meet, PM Modi urges states to focus on promoting ‘three Ts’, modernising farm sector

New Delhi, 7/8: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday made a strong case for modernising agriculture, animal husbandry and food processing to help the country become self-sufficient and a global leader in the agriculture sector.

The Prime Minister also asked the states to focus on promoting 3Ts — Trade, Tourism, Technology — with a view to reducing imports and increasing exports, said an official release after the seventh meeting of the Governing Council of the NITI Aayog.

“We should encourage people to use local goods wherever possible,” he said, adding, ‘Vocal for local’ is not the agenda of an individual political party but a common goal.
