The Vice-President of India, C. P. Radhakrishnan, today graced the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of the Indian Telecommunications Service (ITS) at Vigyan Bhawan, marking six decades since the service was constituted in 1965 to meet the Government’s critical techno-managerial needs in telecommunications.
VP Radhakrishnan highlighted the transformative journey of the country ushered by ITS over the past 60 years by shaping India’s telecom landscape — from the early days of telegraphy and landline telephone connections to the expansive and innovative digital infrastructure that powers the nation today.
The Vice-President noted ITS’s role as a quiet but vital force encouraging progress, fostering connectivity, and unlocking opportunities for millions across the country.
C. P. Radhakrishnan emphasized that technology must remain rooted in inclusivity, ensuring no citizen is left behind while positioning India as a global leader in telecommunications standards and innovation.
Union Minister of Communication Jyotiraditya Schindia was also present on the occasion.
