Yesterday, Prime Minister of India, Narender Modi had
interaction with numerous IT magnates of United States such as Facebook, Google
and many more. He deliberated his vision of digital India and flourished to persuade
these world leaders of information technology to contribute to fulfil his
vision of digital India.
Suddenly, in evening the founder of Facebook Mark
Zuckerberg changed his Facebook profile picture to a new one in which tricolour
of Indian flag was part of it. He did this in support of digital India, which
implies a direct support from the one of the most efficacious IT giant. In his
support, Prime Minister Narender Modi also changed his profile pic with the new
picture of tricolour in it.

to transmute the Indian society in digitally empowered and knowledge economy.

impact on the society and achieve the pervious laid down objectives which have
not been met by previous governments.
