New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said this is the right time and place to be in India when it comes to semiconductor manufacturing, as the country provides an integrated ecosystem for the global players, along with ease of doing business and a large talent pool.

We are building an 85,000-strong semiconductor workforce with technicians, R&D experts and designers,” said the Prime Minister.
PM Modi mentioned the Rs 1 lakh crore ‘Anusandhan fund’ that is aimed at supporting basic research and prototype development, including in the field of semiconductors, spurring private sector-driven research and innovation on a commercial scale.
“India provides a reformist government, a growing manufacturing base and an aspirational tech-oriented market,” PM Modi told the gathering.
The government has committed to developing a strong talent pool of 85,000 engineers and technicians. More than 113 universities, academic institutions and R&D organisations have been tied up towards this cause.
PM Modi also visited the exhibition area and interacted with companies on their progress with their semiconductor solutions.
