The Narendra Modi government has prioritised the defence sector and encouraged self-reliance, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said today in his address in the NDTV's maiden Defence Summit. "In 2014, when Prime Minister Modi's government came to power, we put defence sector as our main priority. Atmanirbharta (self-reliance) was encouraged and we introduced many Make-in-India initiatives. Our focus was on military modernisation," he said.
