PM Modi said in the inauguration ceremony that, our toys reflect reuse and recycling which has been a part of our lifestyle. Most of the toys are made from eco-friendly material and the colors used in them are natural and safe. He appealed to the toy manufacturers to build such toys which are better for both ecology and psychology, he also asked if we could make an effort to make minimal use of plastic in toys and use such material that can be recycled.
