At the inauguration of India’s indigenous 4G mobile network, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde praised the government’s push for self-reliance and technological advancement.

Speaking at the ceremony, Shinde said, “This day must be called a Great Leap Forward. This is another important step towards self-reliance, and a significant move towards an industrial revolution. The credit goes to the Prime Minister’s foresight and strong determination. The PM has established India’s identity as a Vishwaguru (world leader). I congratulate all BSNL officials who are carrying the flag of this revolution on their shoulders and moving forward. We are happy that BSNL is progressing, which was once running in losses. Best wishes to Jyotiraditya Scindia and his team also for these achievements.”

The launch of the indigenous 4G network marks a major milestone in India’s efforts to strengthen domestic telecommunications infrastructure, reduce reliance on foreign technology, and support the country’s broader Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives.
