Finally someone talking about decentralization! Bangalore and Hyderabad are overcrowded and expensive. Time to spread the IT boom across smaller cities. Hope they provide good infrastructure and connectivity.

Great vision but implementation is key. Tier-2 cities need better educational institutions, reliable internet, and affordable housing to attract talent. Otherwise it will remain just talk.

As someone who moved from Jaipur to Bangalore for work, I would love to return to my hometown if there were good tech opportunities. This initiative could help reverse brain drain from smaller cities.

The focus on responsible social media use is much needed. With digital growth, we need better awareness about online safety and combating misinformation. Good to see holistic thinking.

Hope they include cities from all regions - not just the usual ones. North East, central India, and smaller towns in South India deserve equal attention in this digital transformation journey.
