PM Modi calls for ‘fintech revolution’ based on inclusiveness and trust

Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for a “financial technology revolution” on Friday to realize the financial empowerment of every citizen, saying that the country has made significant progress in this regard because of people’s trust in India’s digital ecosystem.

“Inclusive finance is the driving force of the fintech revolution,” Prime Minister Modi said, adding that fintech relies on the four pillars of income, investment, insurance and institutional credit.

He made the above remarks while speaking in a virtual manner at the InFinity Forum of the International Financial Services Center Authority (IFSCA) financial technology event.

He said that when income grows, investment becomes possible, adding that insurance coverage can improve risk-bearing capacity and investment. Modi also said that institutional credit provides wings for expansion, and India has made efforts in each of these pillars.

The Prime Minister of India pointed out that the success of financial technology lies in its inclusiveness and common interests. “The huge foundation becomes the perfect springboard for fintech innovation. India’s fintech industry is innovating to increase everyone’s access to financing and a formal credit system in the country,” he said. “Now, it’s time to turn these fintech initiatives into a fintech revolution. A revolution that will help realize the financial empowerment of every citizen of the country,” Modi said.

He cited several initiatives his government has taken to empower people through financial technology. In the past seven years, India has almost universalized banking, with 430 million Jan Dhan accounts. He said that so far, 690 million RuPay cards have been issued, 1.3 billion transactions were completed last year, and the unified payment interface (UPI) developed in China has processed approximately 4.2 billion transactions last month. Companies upload nearly 300 million invoices on the Goods and Services Tax (GST) portal each month, involving more than $12 billion in payments.

“Despite the [Covid-19] pandemic, there are still about 1.5 million train tickets booked online every day. Last year, FASTag processed 1.3 billion seamless transactions. PM Svanidhi is providing credit to small suppliers across the country. e-RUPI Make targeted delivery of designated services possible without leakage. I can go on and on, these are just a few examples of the scale and scope of Indian fintech,” he said.

“India has proven to the world that it is second to none when it comes to adopting technology or innovating around technology. Transformation under Digital India has opened the door to the application of fintech innovation to governance,” he said.

Amitabh Bachchan: Shocking Fan Incident Outside Jalsa

Amitabh Bachchan Fan Faints After Hours of Torturous Waiting

The weekly Sunday rite outside the renowned gates of Jalsa is nothing short of profoundly holy. For decades, thousands of deeply moved admirers have gathered like clockwork, hoping for a single glimpse of the iconic megastar.

Yesterday evening, that fierce commitment took a scary and sad turn. A middle-aged guy, who had been standing patiently in the scorching midday sun for more than four hours, collapsed unexpectedly.

He collapsed totally into profound sleep, landing directly on the harsh, unforgiving asphalt road. The happy, chanting crowd fell silent in an instant as reality hit in.

A Heartbreaking Moment of Desperation

According to eyewitnesses, this enthusiast travelled across various states for a two-minute glimpse of his idol. His quivering hands clutched a framed vintage photograph of the superstar.

As the searing midday heat reached its zenith, acute dehydration and utter physical fatigue overtook his body. His feeble knees bowed under the crushing weight of his never-ending, frantic wait.

He fell face first to the ground before anyone could react or grab him. The enormous crowd’s collective, frightened gasp boomed over Juhu’s normally peaceful suburban streets.


Sudden Chaos Outside Jalsa’s Gates

Within seconds, total fear spread among the observers. Fellow supporters quickly dropped their homemade banners and posters, coming to the fallen man’s rescue. Someone desperately sprayed cold water upon his pale, sweating face.

The large security crew stationed outside Amitabh Bachchan’s home acted quickly. They were able to remove the rising, panicked crowd, allowing the choking sufferer to breathe easier.

An emergency ambulance was dispatched immediately, while local volunteers attempted to revive him. In a few startling moments, the atmosphere went from exhilarating exhilaration to total horror.


The Relentless Sunday Evening Madness

Every Sunday evening, the veteran actor gracefully goes onto a high podium at his grand gates. It is a renowned custom that has completely defined Bollywood fan culture over generations.

Passionate admirers will miss meals, risk heavy monsoons, and suffer harsh summer heat waves only to see him wave. It is a profound, emotional bond that defies all reasonable logic.

For this heartbreakingly loyal admirer, the powerful emotional rush combined with severe physical tiredness proved to be a highly perilous, almost lethal combination on the boiling, sweltering concrete.

Security Personnel Scramble to Prevent Tragedy

Local police officers responded promptly to the chaotic scene, attempting to manage the emotionally charged throng. Medical staff administered quick, vital first aid on the scene, examining his critically weak and decreasing pulse.

The comatose man was gingerly put onto a canvas stretcher, still clutching his prized, sweat-soaked image of the actor. He was sent to a local hospital for emergency treatment.

On-duty medics eventually confirmed that he had severe heatstroke and acute, life-threatening dehydration. Fortunately, his medical condition improved after he received repeated IV infusions and intensive, appropriate care.


A Stark Warning for Star-Worshippers

This terrible, tragic episode has generated a heated, much-needed debate about the extreme limits of celebrity worship in India. Blind passion should never result in the death of an innocent person.

Jalsa is an undisputed historical monument to love, but yesterday it served as a grim, sobering lesson. Extreme physical endurance for a brief moment can easily result in a catastrophic medical tragedy.

As thousands of passionate individuals continue to flow to Mumbai every day, the fine line between beautiful appreciation and life-threatening devotion becomes increasingly, dangerously blurred for these fragile worshippers.


Terrifying Boundaries of Human Obsession

The burning passion that motivates these ordinary folks to risk their own health is both wonderful and scary. It emphasises the megastar’s immense, godlike influence over millions of hearts.

While the legendary actor continues to express love to his devoted fans, this dangerous occurrence demonstrates that safety should always come first. No fan should have to bleed or faint on the street in order to catch a passing shadow.
