Keynote address by Mritunjay Mohapatra, DMD and CIO, State Bank of India:

In digital age, poverty is not the poverty of wealth. Digital poverty is staring at us. The digitally poor will create an upheaval in society if we don’t address digital poverty. Amartya Sen quite accurately said: ‘Famine is not due to shortage of food, but supply chain problems’.
