[00:00:00]For example, a big resolution is to use petrol and diesel sparingly.

[00:00:10]Friends, we have to reduce the use of petrol and diesel.

[00:00:15]Work from home, online conferences, virtual meetings, we have to give priority to these again. In the current crisis, we will have to put a lot of emphasis on saving foreign exchange.

[00:00:39]Like nowadays the culture of getting married abroad, travelling abroad, going on vacations abroad is increasing in the middle class.

[00:00:56]We have to decide that when this is a time of crisis and our patriotism is challenging us, then we should postpone the idea of ​​going abroad for at least a year.

[00:01:11]Similarly, it is the case with edible oil also.

[00:01:24]We have to spend a huge amount of foreign currency for its import also.

[00:01:31]If every family reduces the amount of cooking oil they use.

[00:01:39]I have repeatedly said reduce it by 10%. Even if we reduce our oil consumption, it is a great act of patriotism. In the interest of the country, we will have to decide that for the whole year, no matter what function or program takes place at home, we will not buy gold jewellery. It is very important that we reduce the consumption of chemical fertilizers by 25%, 30%, 40%, 50% or even half and along with this, we move towards natural farming.

[00:02:36]Even during the Covid period, I used to insist that we buy local products. Let us follow the mantra of Vocal for Local.

[00:02:47]We can also save foreign exchange by buying Made in India products.
