Our foundation is so excited about results that Modi has achieved in India: Bill Gates
I have started the 'Namo Drone Didi' scheme: Narendra Modi
When a child is born, he says 'Aai' as well as AI: Narendra Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with the former CEO of Microsoft Bill Gates at his residence on March 28th. Bill Gates noted the importance of the G-20 summit held in New Delhi in 2023. “G20 is way more inclusive and so it is fantastic to see India hosting it – really raised things like digital innovations and how the south-south collaboration can be far more than just the dialogue with the north…Our foundation is so excited about the past results that you have achieved here in India, that we would be a partner in trying to take that into many other countries,” Bill Gates said.
The discussion covered many important themes such as Artificial Intelligence, Climate Change and Digital Public Infrastructure. Modi emphasised on how the government has attempted to integrate women empowerment with the development of digital infrastructure. “When I used to hear about the digital divide in the world, I used to think that I would not allow anything like that to happen in my country. Digital public infrastructure is a major requirement in itself…Women are more open to adopting new technology in India…I have started the ‘Namo Drone Didi’ scheme…This is going on very successfully. I interact with them these days, and they are delighted. They say that they didn’t know how to ride a bicycle but they are now pilots and can fly drones. The mindset has changed. Historically, during the first and second industrial revolutions we lagged behind because we were a colony. Now, in the midst of a fourth industrial revolution, the digital element is at its core. I am confident that India will gain a lot in this. AI is very important. Sometimes, I jokingly say that in our country, we call our mother ‘Aai’. Now I say that when a child is born, he says ‘Aai’ as well as AI as children have become so advanced,” Modi highlighted.
