Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday asked investors to explore Uttarakhand's limitless potential in various sectors and convert them into opportunities

Uttarakhand is a combination of divinity and development, the Prime Minister said

"Nature, culture, heritage - Uttarakhand has everything. You have to explore them and convert them into opportunities," PM Modi said

Recalling his earlier remark during a visit to Kedarnath that the third decade of the century belongs to Uttarakhand, he said the prediction is coming true

He also said the last ten years have seen the emergence of an aspirational India

PM Modi also launched the House of Himalayas brand to promote local products manufactured by women's self-help groups in the international markets

Congratulating the state government for the launch of the brand, PM Modi said it was in keeping with the concept of Vocal for Local and Local to Global

"It will give identity to local products in the markets abroad. It will also help fulfil my commitment of making 2 crore Lakhpati didis (sisters) in times to come," the Prime Minister said

Preparations for the summit have been going on for months. It is being attended by more than a thousand investors and delegates from across the country and abroad
