India’s Telecommunications Department Secretary Neeraj Mittal has urged the industry to contribute to the programme. The minister prioritised the development of rural areas: improving digital literacy of residents, improving connection services and implementing sustainable practices.

The experts emphasised the need to bridge the digital divide between urban and rural populations. They noted that integrating innovations such as 5G with traditional rural practices is the way to sustainable growth and improved living standards in rural areas.
