Wed In India: PM Modi Stresses On Destination Weddings In India – WATCH

Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated his call for affluent Indians to hold their weddings within the country, advocating for a “Wed in India” movement along the lines of the successful “Make in India” initiative.

He encouraged young couples to embrace the beauty and potential of India for their wedding celebrations. Speaking at the Uttarakhand Investors’ Summit, PM Modi questioned the trend of wealthy couples choosing foreign destinations for their weddings.

“Why do these pairs go abroad to start their new journey of married life?” he asked, emphasizing the strength and splendor India offers.

He specifically encouraged couples to consider Uttarakhand for their destination weddings, stating that even a small number of such weddings could significantly boost the state’s infrastructure and tourism sector. “If 5,000 such weddings happen in a single year, then the infrastructure of Uttarakhand would improve on its own,” he remarked.

This is not the first time PM Modi has advocated for wedding celebrations within India. He previously made similar remarks during his radio program “Mann ki Baat.”
