Jio to bring 5G to every Indian by December 2023

Ushering in a new technological era, Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi launched 5G services in Pragati Maidan, New Delhi on October 1, 2022.

At the launch, Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries Limited said,

“5G is an acronym for “5 Goals” that fundamentally can transform our nation:

• 5G and 5G-enabled digital solutions can bring affordable and high-quality education and skill development within the reach of common Indians. This will help young Indians realise their full potential by arming them with world class capabilities and competencies so that they can earn more and make India globally competitive.
• 5G can affordably deliver high-quality healthcare to rural and remote areas, that will enhance health, wealth and happiness.
• 5G can bridge the gap between urban and rural India making India a hub of innovations, and also help us mitigate the climate crisis.
• 5G can make available the same powerful productivity tools to small-scale industry and commercial enterprises as are used by large capital-intensive businesses.
• 5G can power India’s emergence as the world’s intelligence capital, helping India become a major exporter of high- value added digital solutions and services.

Achieving these five goals will trigger a huge explosion of entrepreneurship in our country, which in turn will attract even larger investments and create millions of new jobs for our young people.

By harnessing the combined power of demography and digital technologies, India can become the world’s leading digital society, setting a benchmark for simultaneously achieving the dual goals of acceleration of growth and inclusion in development – acceleration of growth by making India a 40-trillion-dollar economy by 2047, up from USD 3 trillion today, and inclusion in development by increasing our per capita income rapidly to over USD 20,000, from USD 2,000 today. “
