SSC CPO 2022 PYQ — Question 97

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Avoiding imports of the goods which could be produced in the country.

An indicator of self-reliance is avoiding imports of the goods which could be produced in the country. Self-reliance focuses on developing the domestic capacity to produce goods and services that a country needs, rather than relying on foreign imports. By producing these goods domestically, a country can reduce dependency on external sources, enhance economic stability, and strengthen its industrial base. This approach contributes to economic self-sufficiency and reduces vulnerability to global market fluctuations.
