Swadeshi network to bring revolution with connectivity to remote areas: CM Naidu

Amaravati: Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu said that the Swadeshi 4G network will provide better connectivity for remote villages. The indigenous network connecting rural areas marks the roadmap for the country’s development.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the BSNL Swadeshi 4G network from Jharsuguda, Odisha, today. Participating virtually in the launch program from Vijayawada, the Chief Minister said BSNL will provide the Swadeshi 4G network in 97,500 locations across the country, including ten remote villages in Andhra Pradesh.

Naidu pointed out that mobile phones manufactured in India under the Make in India program are being used worldwide, and added that 14.30 lakh DWCRA women’s group members in the state are using smartphones. He expressed hope that 6G technology would be in use by 2030.

Stating that a Quantum Valley will be established in Amaravati by January 2026, he stressed the need for Swadeshi apps, pointing out that currently, 90 per cent of apps used in India are foreign and involve payment. He said both India and the Telugu people should strive to emerge as number one in the world.
