New Delhi, Jul 22, 2020: Union Information Technology Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said that digital platforms need to be responsive, accountable, and sensitive to the concerns of sovereign nations as far as safety, defence and privacy are concerned.
Addressing a virtual meeting of G20 Digital Economy Ministers here on Wednesday (July 22), hosted by Saudi Arabia, Union IT Minister said, "Digital economy must go hand in hand with Data economy. We need to acknowledge the sovereignty over data. Data must belong to sovereign nation concerned, to protect also the privacy concern of its people."
Ravi Shankar Prasad told the global gathering about how India under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has managed the COVID-19 crisis far better than many other countries. "The bold decision of the Prime Minister to go for an early nationwide lockdown helped in the country in curbing the spread of the virus as well as prepare for the upcoming challenges effectively," he said.
