“Foreign media’s assessment of India’s changes has generally been inadequate and lacks comprehensiveness in its view, but still Zakaria has been successful in giving the message of the importance of IT for India.
Of the three revolutions that Zakaria mentioned during his visit to India, two are directly related to IT and telecommunication. IT also has a role to play in the third revolution, although Zakaria forgot to mention digital infrastructure which is an important part of India’s infrastructure revolution.
Although the foreign media’s assessment of India’s changes has generally been inadequate and lacks comprehensiveness in its vision, yet Zakaria has been successful in giving the message of the importance of IT for India.

IT for India
It is an important part of India’s infrastructure revolution. Although the foreign media’s assessment of India’s changes has generally been inadequate and its vision lacks comprehensiveness, Zakaria has been successful in giving the message of the importance of IT for India.
Our biggest success in the field of IT is that India has made it its priority. If the goal of digital transformation of the country will be achieved. It will be because it has started with the transformation of our thinking.
This thinking is reflected in the remarks made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the launch of the Digital India program in July 2015. I dream of a Digital India, where high-speed digital highways are uniting the country. 1.3 billion Connected Indians are engaged in innovation and technology is ensuring. The medium of communication between citizens and the government cannot be corrupted.
Zakaria limited his talk to only three revolutions – Aadhaar Revolution, Reliance Jio Revolution and Infrastructure Revolution. But the above comment of Prime Minister Modi clarifies our thinking more comprehensively.
He refers to Digital India, which aims to create a comprehensive IT eco-system in the country. Then he mentions the digital highway, of which Reliance Jio may be a part. But he points to the spread of broadband, 4G-5G.
Mobile connections in every village, network of telecom satellites, efficient internet and presence of telecom service providers etc. Does.In the same comment of Modi, there is mention of 1.3 billion connected Indians.
That is, the establishment of the necessary system to reach the fruits of technology to every person. Today the number of Internet users in India has reached one billion twenty crore. And the number of mobile connections has reached 114 crore. Hardly any other facility has reached common Indians on such a large scale.
