 Welcome to the World Summit on the Information Society 2017. My next guest here is Mr Manoj Sinha, who is Minister of State for Communications, Independent Charge and Minister of State for Railways, Union of India. Sir, thank you very much for joining us. Thank you. So, I suppose the first question is, what role do ICTs play in sustainable development goals? See, ICT has become the focal point of sustainable development goals regarding economy and society both. ICT has played a vital role, pivotal role, whether it is health, education, financial inclusion, agriculture, any field you consider. I think ICT has enormous effect on the society in poverty, eradication, in education, health everywhere. ICT has done a tremendous job and it has connected far from area of rural people to the knowledge and information societies can be changed in the knowledge society with the help of ICT. And sustainable development goals can be achieved easily with the use of technology, particularly ICT. And it has enormous effect on the society and particularly rural people, deprived people, ICT has made a lot of changes in their life. So at the UN process level, what efforts can be made together to link the sustainable development goals and WISIS, for instance? See, WISIS is a platform of many stakeholders and it is working with ITU in the edge of United Nations. So WISIS has an advantage also and it has done a tremendous job. But I feel that ITU and WISIS should work in some more areas. Internet, though it is the finest contribution to human society, but few people are misusing it for, say, terrorism and other purposes with the black and every type of arrangements. And ITU and WISIS must consider this issue. And cross-border terrorism has become a serious threat to the society and WISIS forums would consider it, though we believe the openness of Internet and multi-stakeholderism, which ITU has already taken, India supports it. But yes, of course, Internet protocol must be discussed in this session so that the world knows and it cannot be misused. When used wisely, ICT can be a formidable force for inclusion and development. So can you give us some specific examples of efforts you are making in India in terms of ICT and SDGs? Yes, in the last three years, under the dynamic leadership of our Prime Minister, Mr Modi, we have launched a digital India program, an umbrella program, and three important factors. One, to digitally empower every citizen. Second, governance. And third, everyone has equal rights on this digital development. These three are the main focuses. And we have launched a program called Bharat Net. And we are going to end this program by December 18. Already we have led to 104,000 kilometers of optical fiber. And we have connected 92,000 gram panchayats. Gram panchayat means cluster of villages. And our target is 250,000 villages will be connected through this program. And approximately 600 million people will be digitally empowered by this program. Many more programs of financial inclusion, that is Jam, Jandhan Yojana, Mobile, and Adhar. Adhar, I think, it is indigestionally developed by India. And it is the biggest platform of identification, by biometrics. The third one, we have plugged the holes and direct benefit transpose. We have underserved, different schemes, $30 billion have been saved of the country. And that Pradhan Mantri, Digital Saksharta Yojana, we have launched. Then so many programs, EGM, to procure the government purchases. We are doing a lot in this regard. And I think in two, three years, India has moved a lot. A lot of activities is going there. And as we believe, Vasudhaya Kutumbakam, we are ready to share our knowledge and the development with the rest of the world, so that the fruits can be better exercised by the humanity. And naturally, we have taken a big leap in this regard, and we will continue to do it. By an Africa project and so many projects, we are running. And we have assured to continue it for five more years. Mr. Manohar Singh Ha, thank you very much. Thank you.
