Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said India’s technology-driven solutions are delivering prosperity at the grassroots level. He highlighted innovations in agriculture, fisheries, healthcare and digital services.
The Prime Minister said these initiatives are improving the lives of millions across the country.
Addressing the VivaTech 2026 conference in Paris, PM Modi said India is leveraging technology to foster innovation. He said the country is also ensuring that the benefits of technology reach ordinary citizens.
The Prime Minister stressed the need to democratise technology. He said making technology accessible to all is essential for creating meaningful progress.
“An AI application called Sarlaben speaks to millions of women dairy farmers in their own language, giving expert guidance on livestock health and management,” PM Modi said.
The Prime Minister further added, “Indian women are being trained as drone pilots for spraying fertiliser and crop monitoring. Satellite data is guiding hundreds of thousands of fishermen to the most promising fishing zones, helping them save fuel, reduce time and improve catch. Our technology solutions are delivering prosperity at the grassroots level.”
The Prime Minister highlighted the growing impact of technology in empowering communities and improving productivity in key sectors. He noted that digital tools and innovation are helping farmers, fisherfolk and rural entrepreneurs enhance their livelihoods while expanding access to essential services.
PM Modi also underlined the importance of making advanced technologies accessible to all sections of society to ensure inclusive development.
Highlighting India’s innovation ecosystem, PM Modi said the country is home to more than 200,000 startups. He said this makes India one of the world’s most vibrant startup hubs.
“From space technologies to nuclear energy, we are expanding the frontiers of human capability,” PM Modi stressed.
“India became the first country to land near the Moon’s south pole. And recently, India’s prototype fast breeder reactor achieved criticality. It has brought us closer to realising our three-stage nuclear energy vision, including the use of our vast thorium reserves,” he added.
Emphasising India’s approach to artificial intelligence, PM Modi said, “AI must improve lives, widen access, drive growth and also help us sustain a healthy planet. Our participation as the AI Country Partner at VivaTech 2026 reflects this very vision. For India, AI means all-inclusive.”
