Reliance Jio rolls out True-5G coverage in all 33 dists headquarters of Gujarat

The initiative will make the western state first in the country to get Jio True 5G coverage in 100 percent of the district headquarters, a statement from the company said.

"As a model state, Jio will launch a series of True 5G-powered initiatives across Education, Healthcare, Agriculture, Industry 4.0 and IOT sectors in Gujarat and then extend it across the country," the statement said.

The 'shubh-aarambh' will happen with an important True 5G-powered initiative named ‘Education-For-All’, in which Reliance Foundation and Jio are coming together to initially digitize 100 schools in Gujarat.

The initiative will connect schools with JioTrue5G connectivity, Advanced Content Platform, Teacher and Student Collaboration Platform and School Management Platform, it said.

Akash M Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited, said, "We are proud to share that Gujarat is now the first state to have 100% district headquarters connected with our robust True 5G network.

"We want to showcase the real power of this technology and how it can impact a billion lives."

"Education is a focus-area for our Prime Minister. Imagine the power of having 300-400 million skilled Indians joining the workforce in the next 10-15 years. It will not only give a better standard of living to each Indian but will also help in realizing our PM's vision of becoming a developed economy by 2047.

"Reliance Foundation already runs a program named Education & Sports for All (ESA), where it enables and empowers youth at the grass-root level with quality-education and opportunities in sports.

"Jio and Reliance Foundation will take the ‘Education for All’ initiative to a whole new level by using the powerful 5G-tech along with platforms that digitize the schools and bring them at par with the best in India and the world," he said.

"5G cannot remain an exclusive service available to the privileged few or those in our largest cities. It must be available to every citizen, every home, and every business across India.

"Only then can we dramatically increase productivity, earnings, and living standards across our entire economy, thereby creating a prosperous and inclusive society in our country. This is our constant belief, inspired by our We Care philosophy," Akash added.
