PM calls to bring out hidden potential of toy industry in India New Delhi, Feb 27 (KNN) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday called for bringing out the hidden potential of the toy industry in India and to create an identity for it as a big part of the campaign for AatmaNibhar Bharat.

As the Prime Minister inaugurated the India Toy Fair 2021 through video conference, he interacted with toy makers from Channapatna in Karnataka, Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, and Jaipur in Rajasthan.

Addressing the event the Prime Minister said that this first toy fair is not just a business or economic event.

This program is a link to strengthen the countrys age-old culture of sports and cheer. This toy fair is one such platform where one can discuss toy design, innovation, technology, Marketing and packaging and also share their experiences. The world has done research on toys from the era of Indus Valley civilization, Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa, an official statement quoted him as saying.

Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Nitin Gadkari and Union Minister of Textiles Smriti Irani also participated in the event.

More than 1,000 exhibitors are participating in the Toy Fair which will be held from February 27th to March 2nd 2021.

He also appealed to the country’s toy manufacturers to make toys that are better for both ecology and psychology! He asked them to use less plastic in toys, to use such things that can be recycled.

The Prime Minister remarked that today across the world, in every sector, Indian outlook and Indian ideas are being talked about. He added it is a specialty of Indian sports and toys that they contain knowledge, science, entertainment and psychology.

He added when children learn to play with lattu, they are taught the lesson of gravity and balance in playing lattu. In the same way, a child playing with a slingshot, inadvertently starts learning basics about the Potential and Kinetic Energies.

Puzzle toys develop strategic thinking and problem solving. Similarly, newborns also begin to feel the circular movement by twisting and rotating the arms, he said.

The Prime Minister urged the parents to play with their children because toys play a vital role in the learning process of children. He said the parents should understand the science of toys and the role they play in the development of children and he urged the teachers to use it in schools.

In this direction, the Government has taken effective steps and brought changes through the New National Education Policy, he added.

He further said in the field of toys, India has tradition and technology, India has concepts and competence.
