expanding presence in the country.
"MediaTek chairman (MK Tsai) shared it

In the meeting, Prasad shared with Tsai
the government's 'Digital India' vision
and the way it has opened up new
avenues and opportunities in the field of
technology.
Initiatives like 'Make in India' and Smart
Cities coupled with liberalisation of
defence manufacturing has created a
great demand for technology solutions
and hardware in India, the statement

The Minister also shared the
government's vision to create more IT
hubs in small towns and the vision of
opening BPO centers in rural areas.
"This would propel the growth of India
and bring prosperity to the lesser
developed parts of India," the statement
said.
