Referring to an article by Scindia, PMO India said in a post on X that BSNL’s 4G stack embodies the swadeshi spirit. “With over 92,000 sites connecting 22 million Indians, it reflects India’s journey from dependence to confidence, driving employment, exports, fiscal revival and advancing the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat,” PMO said in the post. PM Modi is set to lay the foundation stone and inaugurate development projects worth over Rs 60,000 crore in Jharsuguda, Odisha. The projects cover key sectors such as telecommunications, railways, higher education, healthcare, skill development, and rural housing. Modi will also address a public gathering on the occasion. Scindia further stated that it is the result of the self-reliant India resolve of PM Modi that today, “India has developed an indigenous 4G stack in just 22 months.” “This indigenous stack of BSNL demonstrates that India is now capable not only of providing services but also of developing technology and is rapidly advancing towards becoming a global telecom leader,” the minister noted. “This is a new era for the telecom sector,” Scindia said earlier. “India now joins the elite group of countries producing telecom equipment, alongside Denmark, Sweden, South Korea, and China. India becomes the fifth nation in this category.” The minister revealed that the Prime Minister will also unveil India’s 100 per cent 4G network under the Digital India Fund, connecting around 29,000 to 30,000 villages through a mission-mode project.
