Nation should ensure digital space does not become playground of dark forces: Modi
New Delhi, Nov 23 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said the nation should ensure that digital space does not become a playground of dark forces.

“We believe in mobile power or M-power to empower our citizens,” he added.
The Prime Minister said financial inclusion through Jan Dhan Yojna, unique identification through Aadhaar and mobile phones have helped to reduce corruption and bring in transparency in the country.
Regarding India’s IT talent pool, Modi said: “Indian IT talent has been recognised worldwide. Indian IT companies have made name for themselves. Women form significant part of IT workforce and the IT sector contributed to gender empowerment.”
He also added that technology breaks barriers and silos.
