“Our technology and the strength of Make in India are behind the success of Operation Sindoor,” he said. Bengaluru and its youth had a major role in Operation Sindoor, he added.
Modi said, “Bengaluru is emerging as a symbol of the rise of a new India, a city that has placed the country’s flag firmly on the global IT map. The driving force behind Bengaluru’s success story is the hard work and talent of its people.”
Advancing Aatmanirbhar vision
The prime minister said, “We must enhance the presence of Bengaluru and Karnataka in the ‘Make in India’ initiative.

I’m confident that Karnataka’s talent will spearhead this vision of an ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’.”
