Where did Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi interact with Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) Board members?
Seva Teerth is a venue in Gujarat where the Prime Minister interacted with GSMA Board members. It is a significant event in the context of India's digital development.
Consider the following statements regarding India's Digital and Mobile Connectivity: 1. India has surpassed the US in terms of mobile phone users. 2. The Prime Minister interacted with GSMA Board members in 2025. 3. GSMA Board members noted the rapid expansion of 5G in India. How many of the above statements are correct?
Statement 1 is false because there is no information in the fact list that supports India surpassing the US in mobile phone users. Statement 2 is false because the fact list states that the interaction took place on 6 October 2026, not 2025. Statement 3 is true because GSMA Board members noted the rapid expansion of 4G and 5G in India, which supports the claim about 5G.
Consider the following two statements: Statement-I: Prime Minister highlighted the need to make technology and digital services affordable and accessible, particularly for the Global South. Statement-II: This need is driven by the Prime Minister's emphasis on technology becoming a tool for inclusive and sustainable development. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
The fact list supports both statements. The first statement is supported by the fact list, which mentions the Prime Minister highlighting the need to make technology and digital services affordable and accessible, particularly for the Global South. The second statement is a correct causal explanation of the first statement, as the Prime Minister's emphasis on technology becoming a tool for inclusive and sustainable development is the underlying reason for his emphasis on making technology and digital services affordable and accessible.
