“Providing bank accounts for all through Jan Dhan Yojana, rolling out of Aadhar covering 1.3 billion people and Covid-19 vaccination with the help of technology helped revolutionize the country’s success,” he said, adding that India’s digital transactions are the largest in the world in terms of payment. He said that however, there is a risk in the usage of technology and cyber crimes need to be tackled.

“Artificial intelligence is progressing leaps and bounds. It will be interacting with humans just like humans interact with each other in the near future. Unless it is used appropriately, sometimes thing may go out of control,” he said.
