Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday appealed to young technocrats to become partners in developing Swadeshi technology to make India No. 1 in the world in technology innovations

Stating that India is the largest user of artificial intelligence, the chief minister said it should make the best use of our inhouse talent. Citing the example of South Korea’s expertise in the semiconductor sector, he said Prime Minister Narendra Modi was encouraging the same in India.
“Likewise, Andhra Pradesh is going to develop Quantum Valley in Amaravati, space city near Sriharikota, drone city in Orwakal, electronic city and Medtech Park in Visakhapatnam. The civil servants, most of whom were from IITs and IIMs, should become partners of quantum technology and other emerging new technologies,” he said.
Naidu expressed confidence that India will emerge as the third largest economy by 2028 and No. 1 by 2047, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “Our government will lead this technology revolution in Andhra Pradesh and the people will lead the revolution to contribute for national development,” he said.
