He said today, India has emerged as a military and economic power, but, with industrial revolution 4.0 on its way, India needs to fast track it’s growth in several spheres such as genetics, medicine, artificial intelligence, material science and space technology to stay ahead of other nations.
Expressing his gratitude for the soldiers, who protect the national borders, he also praised the hard work being put in by the young workforce, who are contributing to the economic growth of the country.
