Modi wants Indian Media to go global |
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 8th September said that not only Indian products, but India`s voice too is becoming more global with the world paying more attention to the country. Inaugurating Patrika Gate in Jaipur and releasing two books through a video conference, India`s PM Modi said Indian media also needs to go global at a time when the country enjoys a "very strong presence" at almost every international body. He said Indian newspapers and magazines should have a global reputation. They should reach digitally across the world in this digital age. Indian institutions should give away literary awards like they are given in different parts of the world. This is the need of the hour and necessary for the country. The Prime Minister also lauded the country`s media for serving people in an "unprecedented way" by spreading awareness on the COVID-19 pandemic and by analyzing government works and pointing out their shortcomings. He said though the media is also criticized at times, more so in this age of social media, but everybody needs to learn from criticism, adding this is what makes India`s democracy strong. The Prime Minister said, Be it his government`s campaign to build toilets or `Swachh Bharat` mission or `Ujjwala` scheme, which gives cooking gas cylinders free to poor women, or the project to supply piped water to every household, the media has worked to spread awareness”.
