Digital India succeeding because of people's pull: PM

By TIOL News Service

NEW DELHI, FEB 19, 2018: WHILE inaugurating the World Congress on Information Technology, the Prime Minister, Mr Narendra Modi, said that such an event would be of mutual benefit to investors, innovators, think-tanks and other stakeholders from across the world.

The PM said, "We not only have a growing number of innovative entrepreneurs, but also a growing market for tech innovation. We were and we remain one of the most tech friendly populations in the world. With over one lakh villages linked with optical fiber, 121 crore Mobile phones, 120 crore Aadhaar and 50 crore internet users, India is best placed to leverage the power of technology and leap-frog into the future while ensuring empowerment of every citizen. Digital India is a journey bringing about digital inclusion for digital empowerment aided by digital infrastructuref or digital delivery of services. Leveraging technology in such a holistic manner was unthinkable some years ago."
 
The PM said that technology has transcended power-point presentations and has become an inseparable part of people’s lives. While most Government initiatives depend on a Government push, Digital India is succeeding because of the people’s pull.
