It examines how these pillars synergize with each other to create a robust ecosystem that not only strengthens India's economic foundations but also foster a culture of self-reliance at the individual, community, and national levels. Furthermore, the study explores the challenges and opportunities associated with the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, considering factors such as global economic dynamics, technological advancements, and the need for inclusive growth.
