Want to congratulate RS Prasad and his team. They have used a comprehensive integrated approach to change India's future, said Narendra Modi
I am confident that the dreams of crores of Indians will be fulfilled
Time has changed. Back in the day when we visited someone the kid in the house used to play with your glasses or a pen
Now the kids go for your phone. Thats how much technology-oriented the world has become. And we need to go with the times
In the past, people lived beside rivers. Then came highways. Now they set up homes where optical fiber cables pass through
Digital India to provide employment to 18 lakh people
The Digital India initiative has attracted Rs 4.5 lakh crore worth of investment
e-governance will soon become m-governance. No that is not "Modi-governance", its mobile-governance
When we launched satellites years ago, everyone wondered why. But now that very same thing is helping us leap forward
India's ancient culture has to match modern technology
In our country, one of highest imports is e-goods. And we wish to end this trend by manufacturing e-goods in our country
The day isn’t far when banking will be paperless and premise-less
IT revolution has come and we shouldn’t lose this chance to make a mark
Government is ready to help start-ups in whatever way we can. We need to push the youth of our nation, help them
What is the reason that innovations do not happen in our nation? Like ‘Make In India’, ‘Design In India’ is as essential
Youth of our nation can use ‘Design In India’ to give more power to Digital India, I call on the youth of my nation for that
The world is so worried about cyber security. One click can change a lot of things
Must assure the world through innovation that if it is a product of India, the world is secure in the cyber world
Arun Jaitley while addressing the Digital India programme said, "From an economic point of view this is the beginning of a new kind of freedom for the people.”
“Many changes are taking place in our country. India wants 8-10% growth and wishes to grow faster. We have the challenge of eradicating poverty,” said Jaitley.
More than 10,000 people, including top business leaders like Mukesh Ambani of Reliance, Kumar Mangalam Birla and the Tata Group's Cyrus Mistry attended the event.
Mukesh Ambani made announcements related to Reliance JIO on internet service rollout, making affordable smartphones and devices in India. "I believe Digital India will be a huge success because of the adoption of technology by the youth of India. Reliance will invest Rs 250 crores across digital India pillars," said Ambani.
"TCS has partnered the government for projects like Passport Seva and others in remote locations," said Cyrus Mistry, Chairman of Tata Group.
“We plan to invest $7 billion in the next 5 years to consolidate connectivity infrastructure. Also launching a mobile wallet,” said Aditya Birla Group Chairman Kumar Mangalam Birla
