“There is a lot of talk of chia seeds. In India, it is mostly imported but now we are becoming a Atma nirbhar,” he said, giving the example of a farmer in Barabanki growing chia seeds. “When people feel proud of indigenous products then Aatmanirbhar Bharat does not just remain economic programme but becomes national spirit.”

Mr. Modi also said that 112 species of birds have been found during the latest bird census at Kaziranga National park.
