New Delhi: Amid the busy schedule of campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections in 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a fun interaction with India’s top gamers, where he was seen having serious and fun conversations with the young gamers. In a promo video on the official YouTube channel of PM Modi, the Prime Minister asked creators, “Does the gaming field provide enough opportunities for girls?”
Responding to this, Payal Dhare, the only woman gamer present at the table, responded, “When I started, I used to get 100 to 200 messages from many girls who said that they began creating content after watching me”.
“Girls are coming forward in tech and gaming fields in India,” she added.
Apart from this, PM Modi also discussed the gaming vs. gambling issue and asked the gamers if they needed to make such difficult choices. Responding to the technical aspect of the question, Animesh Agrawal was seen saying in the video, “Sir, it is high time that we should differentiate between RMG and skill-based gaming.”
