Mountain View, California: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today visited the Google headquarters at California's Mountain View as part of his visit to the Silicon Valley today. At Googleplex, which he likes to refer as Google Guru, the Prime Minister was given a tour of the four critical projects, which has value for his dream of a Digital India.

Here are the Top Five quotes from his address:

  1. For 15 hours you are sitting at your computers finding solutions to problems. This Hackathon culture should be encouraged in India.

  2. Sometimes I say in jest, that the beginning of technology was to save time. But what happened was just the opposite. Today people spend most time on technology. When a child asks for milk, his mother says wait, I have to send a WhatsApp.

  3. But this is just the beginning, I am sure we will find our footing. I can see this already happening. I can see the benefits of this technology through the Narendra Modi app. Technology has become a huge power for democracy.

  4. Google and the Railtel of the Indian Railways are planning to bring WiFi at 500 railway stations in India.

  5. I am grateful to all of you. I hope what you are doing will help the poor in India.
