DIGITAL INDIA : MAIN POINTS

Main Points PM NARENDRA MODI made on DIGITAL INDIA Programme:

1. E-governance is going to change to M-Governance soon. 'M' is not for 'Modi', but 'Mobile'.

2. 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.

3. Digital India will enable investment of Rs 4.5 lakh crore and ensure jobs for 18 lakh people.

4. Like bank lockers, there will be digital godowns where we will keep all our important documents.

5. Now people will settle down only at places with an optical fibre network.

6. Even a child understands digital power. Earlier, a child used to playfully wrench your reading glasses. Today, he reaches for your phone.

7. I dream of digital India where the world looks to India for the next big Idea.

8. I dream of a digital India where high-speed digital highways unite the nation, where 1.2 billion connected Indians drive innovation.

9. 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.

10. India has about 25 crore internet users. But the people who are still not using internet are more than anywhere else.
