New Delhi, NFAPost: Redefining the fundamental purpose of connectivity, the Prime Minister explained that while global telecom debates obsess over spectrum, towers, and network speeds, the mobile phone has evolved into something far more profound for the domestic population.
“In the last 10-12 years, the mobile phone has emerged as a vital tool of good governance, serving as the absolute core of the Digital India vision,” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi while inaugurating 10th edition of the India Mobile Congress (IMC).
Tracing the remarkable evolution of digital connectivity through the lens of the India Mobile Congress, the Prime Minister recalled launching 5G from the very same stage in 2022 and predicting its massive expansion in 2023.
He proudly announced that 5G networks, now operating from over 5.5 lakh base stations, have successfully reached every single district, boosting internet speeds tenfold. “Today we all are seeing 5G connectivity has reached every district of the country,” asserted Modi.
Reflecting on the platform’s rising global stature, the Prime Minister recalled how the 2024 edition hosted the International Telecommunication Union to discuss global standards, while previous years focused heavily on domestic innovation and manufacturing.
He credited the India Mobile Congress for emerging as a crucial catalyst for the nation’s soaring telecom success and realizing its grandest dreams.”In the past years, this platform has emerged as the platform of India’s progress, of India’s dreams,” noted Shri Modi.
Embracing the summit’s ambitious theme, the Prime Minister challenged the delegates to look at the nation’s own transformative journey as the ultimate proof of scaling without boundaries. He promised to share how the country actively lived and executed this exact vision of limitless expansion.”I would like to tell you from India’s experiences how we have lived and demonstrated the dream of Scale without boundaries,” remarked Shri Modi.
