New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “I am confident that India will lead the world in 6G technology." He was addressing the gathering after inaugurating the 7th edition of the India Mobile Congress on Friday.
PM Modi said "In the rapidly changing world of the 21st century, this event has the potential to change the fate of crores of people. There was a time when we talked about the future, which meant the next decade or the next century. But today due to changes in technology we say that the future is here and now."
The Prime Minister further said that we are moving in the direction of becoming leaders in the area of 6G technology. He also took a dig at the UPA government, mentioning the infamous 2G scam.
"We are not only expanding 5G in the country but also moving in the direction of becoming leaders in the area of 6G technology...Everyone knows what happened during the 2G (spectrum allocation during UPA govt). During our government, 4G was expanded but there was no stain on us.
"Be it technology, be it connectivity, be it 6G, be it AI, Cybersecurity, Semiconductors, Drones, Deep sea, the times to come are going to be completely different and it is a matter of happiness for everyone that our young generation is leading the future of the country," he added.
