New Delhi, Sep 25 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi will unveil his ambitious Make in India campaign on Thursday with a vision to transform the nation into a global manufacturing hub.

Sources said the government has already identified as many as 25 key sectors in which India has the potential of becoming a global leader.

PM Modi will release separate brochures for these sectors along with a general brochure at the event.

The key sectors identified by the government are like automobiles, chemicals, IT, pharmaceuticals, textiles, ports, aviation, leather, tourism and hospitality, wellness, railways etc.

The “Make in India” campaign is targeted to transform India’s economy from the services-driven growth model to manufacturing-driven growth which is quite labour intensive in nature.

The unique move will create job opportunities for over 10 million people joining the workforce every year.
