Taking his government’s digital push further, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the World Congress for IT in Hyderabad via video conference.<\/p>\n
This event is being organised in India for the first time. He began by launching a skill platform set up by NASSCOM. This platform aims at skill development in<\/p>\n
the IT field. Prime Minister then delivered the inaugural address. He said that in the 21st century, digital technology is acting as an enabler in creating a<\/p>\n
seamless, integrated world.<\/p>\n
In the twenty-first century, technology is becoming an enabler for this concept. It helps us create a seamless, integrated world. A world where geographical<\/p>\n
distance no longer remains a barrier in collaborating for a better future.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister described India as a technological hotspot. He hailed Digital India India as a programme that has gone beyond being a Government initiative, to<\/p>\n
become a way of life. Technology has become an inseparable part of people’s lives and is helping in inclusive growth of the nation. PM reiterated that while<\/p>\n
most Government initiatives depend on a Government push, Digital India is succeeding because of the people’s pull.<\/p>\n
Today, India is the hot-spot of digital innovation, across all sectors. We not only possess a growing number of innovative entrepreneurs, but also a growing<\/p>\n
market for tech innovation. We were and we remain one of the most tech-friendly nations in the world. Digital India is a journey bringing about digital inclusion for<\/p>\n
digital empowerment aided by digital infrastructure for digital delivery of services.<\/p>\n
“I am happy to inaugurate the World Congress on Information Technology. This event is being held in India for the first time. It has been organized in<\/p>\n
partnership with NASSCOM, WITSA and the Government of Telangana,” said PM.<\/p>\n
PM asked the IT professionals to keep the interests of common man at top of their priority.<\/p>\n
PM also hailed the progress made through programmes like Make in India & Digital India. “We have come a long way with the convergence of Make in India &<\/p>\n
Digital India. From only two mobile factories in India in 2014, today there are 118 mobile manufacturing factories operational in India, including some of the best<\/p>\n
global brands,” said PM in his address.<\/p>\n
