PM Modi discusses gaming industry, interacts with country's top gamers

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi discussed a variety of gaming-related topics with prominent Indian gamers on Saturday.

The prime minister asked the players insightful questions and played a few of the games himself during a free-flowing conversation on the future and the challenges faced by the e-gaming sector.

"People have offered different solutions. I have an alternative solution called Mission LIFE, which advocates for changing our daily lifestyle to benefit the environment. Now, envision a game aimed at addressing global climate issues, where the gamer must explore various methods and solutions to identify the most sustainable approach," Modi told the gamers during the interaction.

"What are these steps? How do we navigate through it and choose the best approach for success? Take swachhata as an example, the game theme could revolve around cleanliness and every child should play this game. Youngsters should embrace Indian values and understand their true significance," he said.

The gamers discussed new developments in the gaming industry with the prime minister, who stressed how the government has recognised the creativity of the gamers, promoting the gaming industry in India.

They also engaged on issues concerning gambling versus gaming while discussing the participation of women in the gaming industry.
