Days after the Central government banned 59 Chinese apps, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday invited India’s tech community to participate in the ‘Digital India Atmanirbhar Bharat Innovate Challenge’. There is immense enthusiasm among the tech and start-up community today to create world class made-in-India apps, Mr. Modi said. “To facilitate their ideas and products, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, along with the Atal Innovation Mission, are launching the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat App Innovation Challenge’,” the Prime Minister tweeted. The challenge will run in two tracks, which are promotion of existing apps and the development of new apps, Mr. Modi explained. There are many such questions and technology alone can give answers in a creative manner,” Mr. Modi observed.
