PM Modi said we have increased the respect of human beings through technology. 1 crore farmers got financial assistance in 1 click. When the corona lockdown was at its peak, technology ensured that the poor could get help quickly and appropriately. If India is successfully running the world’s largest health plan, the reason is technology.
