of government-owned MTNL and BSNL. The minister, however, insisted that the
telecom corporation had to work with professional and collaboration. "We
will do auctioned spectrum in the current year," he told reporters. Other
issues that the minister would include in the 5-day test, 100 days of fast work
on five lakh WiFi hotspots and promoting telecommunications manufacturing in
100 days .
After assuming charge, he
also detailed discussion with the heads of the Ministry and the PSUs of the
telecom sector. BJP MP Sanjay Dhotre also took charge of the Minister of State
for Communication. In the second term of the Narendra Modi government, the
responsibility of the Ministry of Telecom has also increased Prasad's stature.

top priority will be to take the telecom sector back to the path of growth.

in furthering the leading schemes of the Narendra Modi government. Among them,
Digital India has been the leader. Along with this, he has taken several
initiatives in speeding up electronics and mobile manufacturing in the country.
