Digital India

Our prime minister has given his vision of Digital India to connect all Indians and empower them. It is a truly transformative dream which will remake India and create a digital society, removing disadvantages and distance. It will unify us, level the field and create a new generation that can compete in all respects globally. It has become even more critical now that we have demonetisation of 86% of our currency and a renewed drive to bring in digital banking for the masses.

Digital India is about empowering 137 crore(approximately) Indians by connecting them to each other and to the internet through a smart device with low-cost data plans, thus creating one single virtual nation!

It is a mission which will enable every Indian to access all government services and schemes directly, through e-governance, thus eliminating intermediaries and the tyranny and corruption of low-level officials. Every Indian, irrespective of her status, will enjoy the same level of service. Most government services and schemes will be delivered electronically across India—creating a rich data base—in a transparent manner, with grievance redressal and assured time-bound delivery.

Public Internet Access Progra

• E-Governance – Reforming government through technology

• E-Kranti Electronic delivery of Services

• Electronics manufacturing Target NET Zero imports

• IT for Jobs
