Munich, Dt

India will not lag behind in taking advantage of the fourth industrial revolution in the world in the near future. In addition, India has become a leader in information technology and digital technology and is the world's third largest start-up ecosystem, Prime Minister Modi said while addressing the Indian community in Germany. PM Modi has arrived in Germany to attend the G-7 summit.

Arriving in Germany to attend the G-7 summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Indian community in Munich on Sunday. This was the first grand event in Germany since the Corona epidemic, in which such a large number of people gathered. Prime Minister Modi said that in the last century, Germany and other countries had benefited from the Industrial Revolution. India was a slave at that time. So could not take advantage. But now India will not lag behind in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

The Prime Minister said that India is a leader in information technology and digital technology. Today's India is out of the mindset of 'it happens, it works, it will work like this'. Today, India is determined to 'do', 'must do' and 'do it on time'. India is now ready, ready and eager for progress, for development. India is now ready to fulfill its dreams.

"Today, 80 per cent of adults in India have been given both doses of the corona vaccine," he said. 9% of adults have been given at least one dose. This is the same India about which some people were saying that it would take 10-15 years to vaccinate a population of one and a half billion. India has been the largest exporter last year. This is proof that our manufacturers are ready for new opportunities to emerge in the world. And the world is watching India with hope and confidence.

On the issue of environment, the Prime Minister said that climate change is not just an issue of government policies in India. India's youth are investing in electric vehicles and similar environmentally friendly technologies. Sustainable climate practice is becoming a part of the life of the common man in India today. There was a time when India was nowhere in the startup race. Today we are the third largest startup ecosystem in the world. In the same way, India used to import plain phones, today India is the second largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world. Today, mobiles are exported from India to other countries.
