The government has been working over the last few years to make India a base for the world. It has set a target to promote domestic manufacturing in the electronic system design and manufacturing (ESDM) value chain to get a turnover of $400 billion by 2025.

President Kovind also said that technology is playing a major role in bringing cities and villages closer. He added that so far, more than 1.25 lakh Gram Panchayats have been connected with high-speed broadband under the BharatNet scheme. In 2014, there were 60,000 Common Service Centres in rural areas. It has increased to more than 3.65 lakh now.
