Reliance Jio has announced the launch of its True 5G services in Uttarakhand, starting from Dehradun. Jio True 5G is rolling out at a rapid pace and is the only 5G service to be present in Dehradun, delivering transformational benefits of this technology to Jio users.

Commenting on the launch, Pushkar Singh Dhami, Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, said, “I congratulate Jio, the people of Uttarakhand and the people of Dehradun in particular, at the launch of Jio True 5G services. This launch is an important milestone for Uttarakhand and its people, who will benefit immensely from 5G services. Jio has always been at the forefront, especially when it comes to providing mobile and data connectivity in the state. With 5G, every individual, including students and businessmen, information technology (IT), healthcare services, and sectors like agriculture, education, medicine, information technology and manufacturing will benefit with new opportunities and additional employment. 5G will also enable citizens and government to remain connected on real-time basis and will also improve implementation and efficiency of government schemes for the last mile user. I once again congratulate and thank Jio for bringing transformational changes in the digital landscape of the state and taking yet another step towards realising Prime Minister’s vision of ‘Digital India’ and the state’s vision of making Uttarakhand a ‘Digital Devbhoomi’.”
