She was addressing the gathering after giving away Digital India Awards
2022 to the winners at a function in New Delhi today. She said, the pace
of change in the future will be rather fast and driven by the use of
technology and in this context, social justice should be the prime
objective of digital innovations.
President Murmu said that Digital technologies have enabled the
Government to reach out to the remotest part of the country at the click
of a button. She said, India's story of digital transformation is a
story of innovation, implication, and inclusion.
The President expressed confidence that India is setting the right
example of ensuring the inclusion of vulnerable and marginalised
sections of society. It is strengthening economic, social, and cultural
rights in the Government's journey towards Digital Antyodaya, she added.
On this occasion, she also asked people to leverage prevailing policies
and enable the ecosystem to position the country as a global powerhouse
for software and hardware products by building innovative Made-in-India
technologies.
