Addressing the 13th Sapru House Lecture organised by the Indian Council of World Affairs (ICWA), Ban said: "'Make in India' is a very good policy to make the country into a manufacturing hub. I saw the possibility in Gujarat in 'Vibrant Gujarat'. I felt the vibrations... the whole world is vibrating with its dynamism."
