Gujarat becomes India's first state to get Jio True 5G coverage in all district headquarters

Reliance Jio, in its release, invited its users in Gujarat to avail Jio Welcome Offer — to experience Unlimited Data at up to 1 Gbps+ speeds, at no additional cost.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had in October launched 5G telecom services in India at the India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2022 in Delhi. Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Jio announced on October 4 the beta trial of its True 5G services for Jio users in four cities — Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Varanasi. He had said Reliance Jio will launch 5G services across all corners of the country by the end of 2023.

Jio will now launch a series of True 5G-powered initiatives across education, healthcare, agriculture, industry 4.0 and IOT (Internet of Things) sectors, the press release said.

The release also mentioned the True 5G-powered initiative named ‘Education-For-All’, "in which Reliance Foundation and Jio are coming together to initially digitize 100 schools in Gujarat". This initiative will connect schools with JioTrue5G connectivity, Advanced Content Platform, Teacher & Student Collaboration Platform and School Management Platform.

Reliance Foundation already runs a program named Education & Sports for All (ESA) under which empowers youth at the grass-root level with quality-education and opportunities in sports.

"Education is a focus area for Our Hon’ble Prime Minister. Imagine the power of having 300-400 million skilled Indians joining the workforce in the next 10-15 years. It will not only give a better standard of living to each Indian but will also help in realizing our Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of becoming a developed economy by 2047."
