Today? It is in the digitisation of India," the EAM said."In 2014, six crore people had access to broadband. Today, it is 80 crore. From six it has gone to 80. Internet was used by 25 crore people. It is today 85 crores. We have laid optical fiber cable of 25 lakh kilometres in this country," Jaishankar said."The number of mobile users has crossed 100 crores. We do 800 crore UPI transactions per month. We actually have seven crore authentications per day. So the world watches this and suddenly for them, this India, which they used to associate with poverty, with backwardness, with red tape, with bureaucrats, they now have a new vision of this country," the EAM said while addressing the people of Dharwad.He said that he has a friend who came back to India for the G20 meeting after five years. "He's a foreigner. And he told me his biggest impression today is that any place he goes to in India, some infrastructure construction is going on. Road is being built, airport is being extended, railway line is taking place. Metro is coming up. Housing is taking place. So this sense, this energy, this activity in India, this is something today the world is very, very fascinated by," the minister said.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
