Answer- 100

Ashwini Vaishnaw is the Indian Union Minister for Communications and Electronics and Information Technology. During the 2022 Indian Mobile Congress at New Delhi, he said, “India is capable of leading in the telecom sector. Keeping this in mind the ambit of USOF (Universal Service Obligation Fund) has been expanded. PM has clearly said that we’ve to build 5G services parallel to global standards lead the world in 6G technology”.

Vaishnaw’s statements reiterate those made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who also said that India has the potential to become a world leader when it comes to 6G technology. During the Grand Finale of Smart India Hackathon 2022, Modi had said that the central government is planning to launch 6G services across the country by the end of this decade.

His comments come in the wake of Mukesh Ambani, the Chairman of Reliance Industries, saying that his company, Jio, will provide “the highest quality and most affordable rates that anyone else has in the world.” Jio has said that it expects to deploy 5G connectivity to all parts of the country by December 2023.

Airtel has already rolled out 5G in eight major cities while Vodafone Idea will also be launching the service soon.
