Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi on Saturday inaugurated the nationwide rollout of the indigenous 4G mobile network. Maharashtra Chief Minister (CM) Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy CM Eknath Shinde hailed the initiative as a landmark step for connectivity and development, news agency ANI reported.
Addressing the inauguration ceremony in Pune, CM Fadnavis said the initiative will strengthen communication across India.
“This is a joyous day, as 92,633 BSNL towers are being inaugurated by the Prime Minister. Out of these, more than 900 are in Maharashtra alone. Former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji had once said, ‘If we want to develop India, communication will be very important.’ For development, the roads leading to villages also need to be strengthened, as they are the primary means by which growth and facilities reach rural areas. Now it is necessary to take connectivity to the villages,” he said.
“Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, the 4G network will now reach every village,” added CM Fadnavis.
Emphasising India’s resilience, he stated that whenever India has been challenged, the country has always responded, reported ANI.
“Even today, those countries that are challenging us are being given a strong response. Under PM Modi’s leadership, we have developed pure indigenous technology. When connectivity reaches villages, only then we connect them with the world,” Fadnavis said.
He also noted the transformative potential of the network for rural India, saying, “Through connectivity, children can access quality education, health facilities can improve, and farmers can get information about crops and weather.”
Deputy CM Shinde also praised PM Modi’s vision, describing the launch as a major step towards self-reliance and national development, reported ANI.
“What did not happen in 60 years of Congress rule has been achieved in the last 10 years. Many development works have been completed, and in the coming 10 years, even more will be accomplished that were not possible earlier. Step by step, we are moving forward to make India a developed nation by 2047. I assure you that under the leadership of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Maharashtra will also be an active part of this journey,” Shinde said.
The launch of the indigenous 4G mobile network marks a key milestone in BSNL’s expansion plans, aiming to strengthen rural connectivity and bridge the digital divide across the country.
