00:00Honorable Minister Nirmalasi Taramangaru and friends, I am really happy to receive this
00:12award, Reformer of the Year.
00:18This award will give me or it will bring some more investments to my state.
00:30You heard brief how we are attracting investment.
00:37Now to experience, all of you as to come to Andhra Pradesh, have one investment, then
00:45how our reforms are working, you have to give me judgment afterwards.
00:50Very soon, all of you are coming to Andhra Pradesh in your respective areas and then invest
01:00in Andhra Pradesh.
01:01That is my request to all of you.
01:04Friends, we are all in an inspiring time.
01:08I have seen so many changes in this country.
01:14One is technology.
01:16I know the days where telecommunications sector was totally… we are having a primitive
01:29structure at that time.
01:30At that time, we had only two companies, BSNL, BSNL, public sector.
01:41One is domestic, one is international.
01:44If you wanted to connect anybody, there is a lightning call.
01:51Lightning call will come after one week or it may not mature.
01:55But you know the operator, he will cross all the limits, he will connect directly.
02:03At that time, China used to pass very fast.
02:06Every day they are adding cell phones.
02:10Then I was very, very fond of introducing all these things, reforms.
02:17The day I remember today, BSNL has given me two MPPS.
02:24Morning, 6 o'clock, I used to have collectors' conference, data, everything, I used to get
02:31that.
02:32At that time, I used to go to Dora Darshan every Friday, daily or see them.
02:41Today, anywhere you are, from there you can have a life.
02:47At that time, everybody questioned me, you want pump set or you want cell phone.
02:55They used to heckle me.
02:57Today I am very happy.
03:00The then Prime Minister, Vajpayeeji has taken a bold decision.
03:05I have given that report.
03:08Now, Airtel has to pay some premium for me.
03:11You are not paying anything.
03:16That is the report we have given, Jason Singh, the then Finance Minister, and myself.
03:23Today that has transformed the economy like anything.
03:27I am always for reforms.
03:30Today we are having more advantages.
03:33Real-time you want to do anything, real-time you are in a position to do it.
03:40Either AI or data center, space, satellites, drones, even cell phones, wearables, semiconductor,
03:51not one.
03:53Everything is available.
03:55The day I am thinking very clearly, I am getting all my information.
04:01We are having one more advantage, that is Aadhaar, authentication of every individual.
04:10DBT, we are able to communicate immediately.
04:14I am very happy I associated this sector.
04:18Our Honorable Prime Minister has entrusted me.
04:20Digital currency, digital currency, give the report, there is a committee.
04:27I worked in that committee.
04:29Today, India is having highest transactions on digital currency.
04:36All these things happened within 10 years' time.
04:40So, with all, everything, what I wanted to inform all of you, earlier I used to talk ease of
04:47doing business.
04:48Now, I am talking speed of doing business.
04:51Even in government, I am talking speed of delivering governance.
04:56900 services, 900 services, real-time, I am providing on WhatsApp, Manamitra.
05:05Backend, I am using AI, and also I am getting nearly 45 parameters, real-time.
05:14All process online.
05:15Historical data is available.
05:19Very soon, we are going to give every citizen AI doctor, agronomy assistant, even tutor.
05:32AI tutor also, we are going to give every person.
05:36But ultimately, human intelligence is very, very important.
05:42Finally, I am telling you, we need leadership.
05:47You have proper leadership.
05:50You can do wonders now.
05:52The day will come, as on today you are seeing, earlier in the beginning I used to see, only
06:02we used to do job work.
06:05Around 2000, we have introduced reforms.
06:10Recently, our Honorable Prime Minister, same BSNL, TCS, and one private company, and IIT Chennai.
06:22They innovated 4G.
06:27All these years, we are not going for products.
06:32We are users of the products.
06:34We are paying more and more money for foreign companies.
06:40Now our youth is doing extremely well.
06:44Even I can say, anywhere in the world, Indians are working extremely well.
06:51Highest per capita income earners are Indians.
06:55Among Indians, my Telugu community is leading because, first of all, advantage over a period
07:02of time.
07:04So I wish all the best.
07:07You wish you want to do anything, it is possible today.
07:12Policies, public policies, I am very happy.
07:16The Honorable Finance Minister is here.
07:20She is very practical, very creative, and also very, very diplomatic.
07:26You are seeing our answers also today.
07:30And as that is the being a woman, always, I used to say earlier days, women are the best
07:37finance ministers.
07:39Now, Madam is proving the best finance minister for the country in the recent past, under her
07:47leadership.
07:48And also, our Honorable Prime Minister, again and again, you have to keep in mind, he is
07:54a reformer, he is a performer, and also he is a winner.
08:00That is where, for the last 25 years, he is winning continuously all elections.
08:05Now I am learning from him also, how to win continuously.
08:10This is where the country needs this type of leadership, more stability, more stable growth
08:19that is going to happen.
08:22All of us will work as a team.
08:24I am telling you, India will be number one.
08:28No other country can beat India.
08:31It is a matter of time.
