Pushkar Singh Dhami, who said – “Working on the ‘Digital India’ vision of our Hon’ble Prime Minister and in an endeavor to transform Uttarakhand into a ‘Digital Devbhoomi’, Jio today has been successful in taking Jio 4G services to the last Indian village Mana in Uttarakhand. The start of 4G services by Jio in Mana village is commendable. Jio is the first operator to install a full capacity tower in such a remote location. I would like to thank Jio who is continuously working towards the development of the state on the digital landscape.
