हमारे देश के ऐतिहासिक चरित्रों के बारे में हम खिलौनों के माध्यम से नई पीढी को बता सकते हैं।
देश का खिलौना उद्योग खड़ा हो, व उनकी गुणवत्ता ऐसी हो कि भारत के साथ ही विश्व में हमारे खिलौनों की पहचान बने, इसके लिये हमारी सरकार प्रतिबद्ध है।https://t.co/nR8hqnWqGO pic.twitter.com/WOoqgh8oG0

He said, the matter was investigated by a committee which found that 30 percent of the imported plastic toys contained large quantities of chemicals and heavy metals, which were higher than the prescribed levels. Other toys were also found to lack quality. Because of this, a quality control order for toys was issued. This initiative will ensure that Indians have access to quality toys.
