Prime Minister Narendra Modi tonight promised to do everything possible to make enterprise and innovation easier so that India emerges as an innovation hub and keeps pace with the fast changing world.
"The world is changing, quicker than ever before and we cannot remain oblivious to that. If we don't innovate, if we don't come up with cutting edge products there will be stagnation," he said in a 'Digital Dialogue', and added, "On the part of the government, I assure absolute support."
Responding to numerous suggestions with regard to digitalisation received through the day on a specially-created platform on social media, Modi said, "We are doing everything possible to make enterprise and innovation easier. We have covered substantial ground in the last 14 months and want to do a lot more in the future."
He said his government wants India to emerge as the innovation hub where the next big ideas emerge, driven by the power of technology.
