In the
Economic Survey of 2018, WIPO has ranked India 7th globally as largest
patent Filing Office.
India has also been consistently rising in the Global Innovation Index Ranking.
95% of all Smart phones used in India are now MADE IN INDIA.
Also IPhones are now made in India.
Even then India has not done enough in this field.
No Indian poor needs a PM to tell them how to grow potatoes and poultry. They need the PM to lay the foundation for an scientific and economic revolution that will leap frog them into the future. Not take them back into the middle ages.
India has also seen significant improvement in stunting in children and undernourished population.
Finally India will be open defecation free by end of this Year.
And all this has been made possible by using AI, computer literacy and real time tracking.
So yes, India is ready to join the 4th industrial revolution and not dream about chicken and egg.
But all this deflection on India still does not absolve ik of absurdity.
