TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday made a strong pitch for self-reliance in technology sectors, which play a key role in last-mile delivery of services and have immense potential for job creation.
Addressing a webinar on Technology-enabled Development’, the prime minister said science and technology was not an isolated sector as it was closely connected with the digital economy and based on advanced technology, which is now focusing on fast delivery and empowering citizens.
Modi said telecommunication in general, and 5G technology in particular, can enable growth and offer job opportunities.

The prime minister emphasised on focusing on manufacturing of medical equipment in which technology will play a key role to meet the demand and supply.
