UNGA President Praises India’s Digital Transformation

UNGA President Dennis Francis commended India's impressive progress in lifting 80 crore people out of poverty through digital initiatives over the past decade. This remarkable transformation, attributed to PM Modi's policies, underlines how technology can drive socio-economic change.

UNGA President Dennis Francis lauded India's extraordinary achievement of lifting 80 crore people out of poverty. Former Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar attributed this overhaul to PM Modi's digital government policies.

Chandrasekhar highlighted that before 2014, the banking system was exclusive and the government was seen as corrupt. Today, with enhanced internet connectivity and digital inclusion, 25 crore people have escaped multidimensional poverty.

Francis stressed that India's high internet penetration has been crucial. Former UK PM Tony Blair echoed these sentiments, urging other countries to adopt similar measures. The world acknowledges PM Modi's impact, particularly in empowering the poor and farmers through technology.
