India is serious about semiconductors; Reform, perform and transform is our mantra: PM Modi

New York. Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the NRIs at the Indoor Stadium in New York on the second day of his US visit. Apart from this, the Prime Minister also held a round table meeting with the top officials of the world’s leading tech companies. Today the Prime Minister will address the Summit of Future at the United Nations General Assembly.

Prime Minister Modi also said that just like a body is useless without a spinal cord, technology is useless without a chip. That’s why we are also working in this field. I believe that this work has already started in the world a long time ago. We are starting a little late in this matter. However, our strength is that whenever we start, we start at full speed. For example, we were far behind in 5G technology, but now we are at the forefront. That’s why India is serious about semiconductors. We will complete the target in this as soon as possible. Our mantra for this is reform, perform and transform. 09:32 AM, 23-SEP-2024PM Modi said that I am seeing energy and enthusiasm and the trust I am seeing in India. This is really very pleasant, because when experts like you tell something about the changing world and the possibilities of India, then our confidence in policy making in India also increases.

PM Modi said that the 21st century is technology driven. There is hardly any area of ​​​​life that is not driven by technology, but at such a time a balance of only technology or technology + democracy is very important, because the combination of democratic values ​​​​and technology guarantees human welfare.

He said that when the world’s largest democracy grows rapidly, then an assurance of global peace and prosperity is also obtained from it. Technology is an important pillar of the journey of developed India. Therefore, today we have created unprecedented possibilities for technological collaboration and investment in India.

PM Modi said that today India is rapidly emerging as a global bio-tech powerhouse. India also has a fertile ecosystem to promote bio pharma research. I always see all of you as a fellow traveler and co-partner in the development journey of a self-reliant and empowered India. I am confident that the tech companies of India and America will together play an important role in solving global challenges.

He said that India is one of the first countries that has worked on AI strategies. For me, AI means ‘America-India’. This is the power that we want to strengthen. India has democratized the use of technology, which has reduced division. India is focusing on the ethical use of AI.

Prime Minister Modi held a round table meeting with the leading Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of technology companies. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in the CEO round table meeting that last year when I came to Washington, I attended a program, even then I got a chance to meet many of you colleagues. Today, after one year, I feel proud to be here meeting with the world’s top innovators. The energy and enthusiasm that I am seeing and the trust that I am seeing in India, is making us very happy. We want you to know the world you work in and if your suggestions come then they are important…”
