“I’m thrilled to
have the chance to talk to such bright and imaginative young people. The NSF is

receiving training on the latest and emerging technologies like artificial
intelligence & blockchains, Modi stated during a recent speech.

He said, that for India
and the US, it is significant to ensure a pipeline of talent and that he hopes
this decade would be remembered as the “tech decade” because of the
technological advances it has generated.
