Pitching India as a land of opportunities, PM Narendra Modi on Sunday said the country has now emerged as a bigger market in 5G technology than the USA.

"Today India's 5G market has become bigger than America and this has happened within just two years," Modi said while addressing an Indian diaspora event in New York where he received a rousing welcome after he reached the venue.

He said India is working on 'Made in India' 6G technology at present.

The Indian PM said: "Today, India is a land of opportunities. Now, India doesn't wait for the opportunities, it creates them."

"In the last ten years, India has created opportunities for new launching pads in every sector. In just a decade, 25 crore people were lifted out of poverty. This was possible because we changed the old thoughts and approach," he said.

Modi said his government has tried to empower the poor.

Highlighting India's green transition' move, Modi said: "Our conviction for reforms is unprecedented. Our Green Energy Transition programme is a good example of it."

"Despite of being 17% of the world's population, India's contribution is only 4% in global carbon emissions.We have no role in destroying the world," he said.

"We could have supported our growth by burning carbon fuel. However, we chose green transition," Modi said.

Meanwhile, Narendra Modi has pledged his nation will contribute $7.5 million, including 40 million vaccine doses, for Indo-Pacific countries under GAVI and QUAD initiatives

Speaking at the QUAD Leaders' Cancer Moonshot Event, Modi said: " I am delighted to share that, through the initiatives of GAVI and the QUAD, India will contribute 40 million vaccine doses for Indo-Pacific countries."

"These 40 million vaccine doses will become rays of hope in the lives of crores of people," he said.

Modi said: "As you can see, when the QUAD acts, it is not just for nations – it is for the people. This is the true essence of our human-centric approach."

He said India's vision is "One Earth, One Health."

"In this spirit, I am pleased to announce our contribution of $7.5 million for sampling kits, detection kits, and vaccines under the Quad Moonshot Initiative. India will also offer support in radiotherapy treatment and capacity building," he said.

Modi said India has a 'very cost-effective' ongoing cervical cancer screening program on a mass scale.

"India also runs the world's largest health insurance scheme," he said.

" India has also developed its own vaccine for cervical cancer. And new treatment protocols are being launched with the assistance of AI," Modi said.
