Prime Minister Narendra Modi has presented a comprehensive set of measures for citizens to deal with the ongoing global energy and economic crisis triggered by international conflicts. He urged people to adopt work-from-home practices, use public transport such as metros, and encourage car pooling to reduce fuel consumption. The Prime Minister also appealed to citizens to avoid buying gold for one year and reduce non-essential foreign travel, including vacations and overseas events, to conserve foreign currency. He emphasized promoting “Vocal for Local” and increasing the use of Indian-made products to strengthen the domestic economy. Modi also suggested cutting down on cooking oil usage and reducing chemical fertilizer consumption by 50% while encouraging natural farming practices. The global conflict has led to rising fuel prices, with noticeable inflation in petrol, diesel, LPG, commercial gas cylinders, and aviation fuel. This has resulted in increased costs for transportation, air travel, and household energy needs in India. The Prime Minister stressed that adopting these measures will help reduce economic pressure on citizens and strengthen India’s resilience during global uncertainty.
