This will be applicable to all CAPF dining rooms throughout the country from June 1, 2020. With this 50 lakh family members of approximately 10 lakh CAPF staff will use indigenous products, “he said.

The CAPFs – CRPF, BSF, CISF, ITBP, SSB, NSG and Assam Rifles – the soup kitchens together sell products worth Rs 2,800 crore annually.
Referring to Modi’s call on Tuesday, during his speech to the nation, to make the country self-sufficient and to use products made in India, Shah said this will surely pave the way for India to lead the world in the future.
“If every Indian agrees to use products made in India (Swadeshi), the country can become self-sufficient in five years,” he said.
