NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has fostered progress through technology that resulted in exponential surge in digital transactions, made business easier and Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) took government services to every home, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Friday.

The home minister highlighted through tweets the Modi government’s thrust on use of technology for the benefit of people with the hashtag #9YearsOfTechForGrowth.

“PM @narendramodi Ji fostered progress through technology in #9YearsOfTechForGrowth. The exponential surge in digital transactions made business easier, DBT took government services to every home, and start-ups gave India’s space industry a competitive edge,” he said.
