nLeader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, on Saturday launched the PM Wani WiFi Scheme at Harinagar ward in South Delhi, under which residents of the area will get free internet through the various hotspots.
The PM WANI (Prime Minister Wi-Fi Access Network Interface) Scheme was launched by the centre with an aim to fuel broadband internet proliferation across the country. The scheme aims to bring large scale deployment of Wi-Fi hotspots through the country.
Under this scheme around 10 lakh hotspots would be created in the country so that they could avail of the free internet around the country. Many more such hotspots will be inaugurated in the coming days in Delhi for providing free internet and unlimited data. The launch event was chaired by the South Delhi Municipal Corporation Mayor, Anamika Singh.
On the occasion, Bidhuri said in contrast the Kejriwal Government had indulged in betrayal with the people of Delhi by promising free WIFi but doing nothing in that direction. He said this scheme is going to benefit the students, youth of the area, small traders and other residents and this was a small gift from Prime Minister, Narendra Modi towards fulfilling the dream of strong Digital India.
