New Delhi: Digital India has not remained a mere government programme but has also become a people’s movement, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Tuesday.  In a post on X, she said ‘Digital India’ is central to building an ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’, and to making India a trusted innovation partner to the world. “From bringing internet access to remote corners of the country to making government services available online, the ‘Digital India’ initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi led-government has truly bridged the digital divide across the nation,” the Finance Minister wrote as the ‘Digital India’ mission completed 10 successful years. “Scan. Pay. Done. India’s UPI revolution powers nearly half of the world’s real-time digital transactions,” she further stated. According to Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal, with initiatives like UPI, DBT, GeM, ONDC, SVAMITVA, and many more, the nation is moving from digital governance to global digital leadership. “Prime Minister Narendra Modi writes, when the intent is right, innovation empowers the less empowered,” he posted on X. The Prime Minister said in a post on LinkedIn that ‘Digital India’ is central to building an ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’, and to making India a trusted innovation partner to the world. “To all innovators, entrepreneurs, and dreamers: the world is looking at India for the next digital breakthrough”. Ten years ago, India embarked on a bold journey into uncharted territory with great conviction. While decades were spent doubting the ability of Indians to use technology, “we changed this approach and trusted the ability of Indians to use technology,” said PM Modi. Union Minister Pralhad Joshi said that ‘Digital India’ has revolutionised agriculture through eNAM, enabling farmers to connect directly with buyers across the country. “With Rs 4 lakh crore in trade and 1.7 crore farmers empowered across 1,400+ mandis, the impact is real. A bold leap under the visionary leadership of PM Modi,” he posted on X.

WhatsApp Music Status: Want to make your WhatsApp Status more engaging? Adding music is a great way to set the mood and express yourself creatively. Whether you’re sharing a photo, video, or a special moment, a background track can enhance the impact. WhatsApp, the instant messaging platform, has recently begun rolling out a new feature that allows you to add music to your Status on the latest version of WhatsApp for iOS and Android. Similar to Meta’s other platforms like Instagram and Facebook, WhatsApp now lets you add up to 15 seconds of music to an image and up to 60 seconds when sharing a video in your Status. These Status updates—including those with music—are protected by end-to-end encryption. That means even WhatsApp can’t see which songs you’ve added. Like always, your Status will disappear after 24 hours. Notably, the Music on Status is currently not supported on WhatsApp Web. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to add music to your WhatsApp Status and make your updates stand out from the crowd.  How To Add Music To Your WhatsApp Status  Step 1: Open WhatsApp and go to the Updates tab from the bottom navigation bar. Step 2: Tap the Add Status button to begin creating a new status. Step 3: Choose an image or video from the media gallery shown. Step 4: Tap the music icon at the top of the screen to add a song. Step 5: Search or pick a track, then use the slider to select the part of the song you want. Step 6: Once satisfied, tap Done, then hit the green send button to publish your Status.
