PM appeals for games based on Indian culture and folk tales

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently called for exploration of possibilities in virtual, digital and online gaming in India. He called upon the young innovators and start ups to be mindful of their responsibility of projecting the true picture of India’s capabilities and ideas to the world. The Prime Minister rued the fact that most of the online and digital games available in the market are not based on Indian concepts and many such games promote violence and cause mental stress. He also emphasised that “India should tap the huge potential in this area, and lead the international digital gaming sector by developing games that are inspired from Indian culture and folk tales.”
