NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched “Digital India Week” at a function in Delhi attended by top business leaders like Mukesh Ambani of Reliance and the Tata Group’s Cyrus Mistry.
Here are 10 points made by PM Modi:
- E-governance is going to change to M-Governance soon. ‘M’ is not for ‘Modi’, but ‘Mobile’.
- Make in India is important but ‘Design in India’ equally important for digital India. We need to create products in different languages and age group. It is a market of 125 crore people.
- Digital India will enable investment of Rs. 4.5 lakh crore and ensure jobs for 18 lakh people.
- Like bank lockers, there will be digital godowns where we will keep all our important documents.
- Now people will settle down only at places with an optical fibre network.
- Even a child understands digital power. Earlier, a child used to playfully wrench your reading glasses. Today, he reaches for your phone.
- I dream of digital India where the world looks to India for the next big Idea.
- I dream of a digital India where high-speed digital highways unite the nation, where 1.2 billion connected Indians drive innovation.
- Can we secure the world from the bloodless war? I’m talking about Cyber security. India must take the lead in cyber security through innovation.
- India has about 25 crore internet users. But the people who are still not using internet are more than anywhere else.
