Technology played key role in changing India: Kovind

President Ram Nath Kovind on Saturday said technology has played a key role in transforming India from being a poor nation at the time of independence to one of the fastest and biggest economies in the world.

He was speaking at the inaugural programme of a conference held at a private college here.

“Technology has been a prime mover of social change. India’s journey from a poor nation at the time of independence to one of the fastest and biggest economies in the world has come about in part thanks to technology. As we aim to become a USD 5 trillion economy by 2024-25, we again look forward to technology playing its role,” Kovind said.
