Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacts with the participants of Grand Finale of Smart India Hackathon, 2023 via video conferencing. PM says, I was waiting to talk to all of you since morning. I took updates about you during the day. You all work hard at the Smart India Hackathon but I get the opportunity to learn as well. This is the reason I try to interact with you all whenever there is a Smart India Hackathon. I was told that this team is working to develop IoT based system for Railway Cargo and there are Bangladesh students in the team as well. Indian Railways is going through its transformational phase. Central Govt is spending thousands of crores on this and our focus is also on logistics. Your innovation will be of great help. I felt good seeing students from Bangladesh in your team. We have started ‘Study in India’ program for students from foreign countries to come to India for higher studies.”
