"Engines Bharat Me Banenge, Bharatiyon Ke Haathon Se Baneneg", said the Defence Minister who claimed that "the government want to make India an exporter country for engines."

"I have asked DRDO to explore what kind of engines can be made in India and what countries are ready to transfer the technology, as we want to make engines in India now. We want to make India an exporter country for engines," said Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

Further, speaking on the Agniveer Scheme, Rajnath Singh said, "There should be youthfulness in the army.

We are recruiting those sorts of soldiers through Agniveer, and we will not let anyone play with their future."
