The investment objective of the open ended schemes is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing predominantly in underlying equity oriented sectoral mutual fund schemes.
These schemes are aimed at investment in equity and equity-related instruments of the companies engaged in the sectors such as consumption oriented, industrial & utility, information technology, banking and financial services and pharma & healthcare.
Modi, in September 2014, launched the 'Make In India' campaign, with an aim to revive the job-creating manufacturing sector, while the ambitious 'Digital India' programme was launched in July this year to address the digital divide and focus on affordability for inclusive development.
