First, to bring high-quality education and skill development within reach of common Indians following with affordable and high-quality healthcare to rural and remote areas and bridging the gap between urban and rural India by accelerating digitisation and intelligent data management across different sectors.
Fourth, 5G can make the same powerful productivity tools available to small-scale industrial and commercial enterprises that large capital-intensive businesses use. This will drive the modernisation and profitability of all sectors of India’s economy.
Fifth, By bringing AI into every domain, 5G can power India’s emergence as the world’s intelligence capital. This will help India become a major exporter of high-value digital solutions and services.
According to Mukesh Ambani, achieving these five goals will trigger a huge explosion of entrepreneurship in our country. Also, this will attract even larger investments and create millions of new jobs for our young people
