The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, has focused on "inclusive development that brings transformative changes in the lives of those at the bottom of the pyramid," the minister stated, adding, "From financial inclusion through bank accounts to providing essential services like toilets, gas connections, tap water, and improving infrastructure in both rural and urban areas, this is something which the world wants to understand."
The Union Minister mentioned that there will be a detailed discussion in the World Economic Forum about inclusive growth, about investment in social, physical and digital infrastructure and on democratising technology.
Vaishnaw, ahead of his departure to the WEF 2025, emphasized the global interest in India’s transformative digital journey, “The world is keen to understand India’s economic policies, the digital transformation brought about by the Digital India programme, and the way technology has been democratized to empower citizens across all strata of society,” the Minister stated.
