A holistic conceptThis refers to ‘What exactly is Atmanirbhar Bharat?’ (April 16). As a nation, our weaknesses overshadow our strengths and in simple terms Atmanirbhar would mean reversing this in quick time. Take the case of South Korea, which was trapped between an advanced Japan and a rising China — falling short of Japan in terms of quality and unable to match China on the price front.It adopted the ‘value for money’ strategy and a new ethos, with products that optimise the quality and price trade-off.
