PM Modi said we have leveraged technology to make governance more efficient, inclusive, faster, and transparent. He said Jan Dhan accounts, Aadhaar, and mobile phones have revolutionized financial transactions. He said India is a diverse country. We have dozens of languages and hundreds of dialects.
