A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to people to use locally made products, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday announced that all canteens of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) would only sell swadeshi or products made in India. Mr. Shah said on Twitter that a decision had been taken by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) that all CAPF Canteens, which cater to around 10 lakh personnel and 50 lakh families, would sell only products made in India. The order will come into effect from June 1.“I also want to appeal to Other people to use as many indigenous products as possible and also encourage others to do so. This is not the time to be on the back foot but to turn the disaster into an opportunity. If every Indian uses swadeshi products, then in five years, we will be self sufficient,” Mr. Shah said. The CAPF comprises forces such as the Central Reserve Police Force, the Border Security Force, the Indo-Tibetan Border Police, the Services Selection Board, the Central Industrial Security Force, the National Security Guard and the Assam Rifles. The central purchase committee of the Central Police Canteen system is headed by an Additional Director Generalrank officer. The facility was initiated as a welfare venture by the MHA in 2007. The beneficiaries are serving and retired CAPF personnel and their families. Presently, there are 119 master canteens that also double as warehouses and more than 1,700 subsidiary canteens that function as retail outlets. The canteens provide consumer goods of a wide range and variety at cheaper than market rates. The committee negotiates with the firms to get maximum discounts along with consumer promotional offers on products for the benefit of CAPF personnel. More than 400 firms, which include multinational companies, are authorized to sell at the CAPF canteens. On being asked if products belonging to foreign brands but manufactured in India could be sold at the outlets, a Ministry spokesperson said, “Made in India is the focus.”
