Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed the need for a movement akin to 'Wed in India,' mirroring the 'Made in India' initiative. He urged affluent industrialists to host at least one destination wedding annually in their families in Uttarakhand, emphasizing that this would contribute to the hill state becoming a prominent wedding destination.Addressing the inaugural session of the Uttarakhand Global Investors Summit at the FRI here, he said it has become fashionable among millionaire and billionaire business families to go abroad for destination weddings.There is an old saying that marriages are made in heaven. But then why are young couples going abroad for their wedding instead of coming to the land of gods (Devbhoomi). My prescription to the young and rich couples is that there should be a movement like 'Wed in India' on the lines of Made in India, he said.Wed in India, Modi said, adding if the practice of holding destination weddings in Uttarakhand begins and continues for five years it will emerge as an international wedding destination. If rich business families start holding their family marriages in Uttarakhand once a year for the next five years and even if 5,000 marriages start taking place here in a year, a suitable infrastructure will grow and it will emerge as a major wedding destination, he said.India has great power. If you decide collectively and make a beginning, anything can happen, he said. Modi had given a similar call during his last Mann Ki Baat programme to affluent business families to hold destination weddings in the country instead of going abroad.
