In his address Dr. Manmohan Singh said, "I would also like to take today’s opportunity to repeat a point that I made last year. India needs to develop a strong domestic manufacturing base in electronics and telecommunications. It is estimated that by 2020, India will be importing electronics products worth about 300 billion dollars, which will be more than the value of our imports of petroleum products. We need to act now to avoid a situation where we face difficulties in financing these huge imports. India should have manufacturing facilities which result in a balanced trade in electronics products and are a part of global supply chains. I am happy that the Department of Information Technology is working to create an ecosystem favorable for the growth of electronics manufacturing activities in our country.
I note that this conference has a very futuristic agenda “Internet of People to Internet of Things: The Future of Communication”. This is as it should be because we as a country must keep abreast of the latest developments in technology and its applications. I sincerely hope the deliberations in this conference will contribute in this direction and also towards inclusive development of the telecom sector in our country. I wish your deliberations all success.”
