4G Network to Cover Every Indian Village by June 2026: Scindia
India plans to extend 4G mobile coverage to every village by June 2026, Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has said. The target is part of the government’s broader push to close the digital gap between urban and rural areas and bring basic network access to remote regions.
Speaking at an event in Guna district, Madhya Pradesh, Scindia also inaugurated a new sub-post office in the Badarwas area and called it an important step for local residents. The government has been using such projects to expand both connectivity and basic services in rural pockets that have long lacked reliable infrastructure.
