India today is a beacon of growth for the world, made possible by a vibrant leadership and bold reforms that have turned the earlier narrative of the country being a dysfunctional democracy on its head, said Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Union Minister of State for Electronics, IT, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship,
Addressing the Indian diaspora in Dubai, Chandrasekhar said, “In the coming 25 years, India can go only forward and that would be the natural next point in its development journey. The success of the government’s flagship programmes such as Digital India, Skills India, and Startup India have changed India’s earlier narrative of a leaky, dysfunctional democracy. India today is a living and breathing example of a country that is not on ly plural, secular and diverse but also one that stands for economic development, innovation, growth, and prosperity.”
The minister held a meeting with Omar Sultan Al Olama, UAE Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy & Remote Work Applications. Chandrasekhar discussed with him the possibilities of cooperation between the two countries, especially in the field of deep tech, artificial intelligence, electronics, and semiconductors. Chandrasekhar spoke about various initiatives taken by the Prime Minister for transforming New India with reimagined ambitions, to achieve the target of one trillion USD digital economy/ 5T USD economy by 2026.
