 ABSTRACT

Digital India is a campaign launched by the Government of India to ensure that Government
services are made available to citizens electronically by improving online infrastructure and by
increasing Internet connectivity or by making the country digitally empowered in the field of
technology. It was launched on 1 July 2015 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The initiative
includes plans to connect rural areas with high-speed internet networks. Digital India consists of
three core components - the creation of digital infrastructure, delivery of services digitally and
digital literacy.

The journey towards a digitally – connected India began in the early 90s and 2000s with the
introduction of a range of e – governance programmes. However, its impact was limited. With a
clear vision, the present government is pushing ahead the Digital India initiative to transform the
country into a digitally empowered society and a knowledge economy. With the launch of this
initiative, the government aims to reach out to citizens in the remotest of locations and make
them a part of India’s growth story. Since technology is a key driver in causing disruptive
change, digital tools will empower citizens and prove to be a game-changer.

Digital India provides the much-needed thrust to the nine pillars of growth areas, namely
Broadband Highways, Universal Access to Mobile Connectivity and Public Internet Access
Programme, e-governance, e-Kranti, information for all, electronics manufacturing, IT for jobs
and early harvest programmes. Digital India has been introduced to ensure smooth
implementation of e – governance in the country and transform the entire ecosystem of public
services through the use of information technology. There is no better way to promote inclusive
growth other than through the empowerment of citizens.

Digital India Concept

INTRODUCTION

Digital India is a campaign launched by the Government of India to ensure that Government
services are made available to citizens electronically by improving online infrastructure and by increasing
Internet connectivity or by making the country digitally empowered in the field of technology. It was
launched on 1 July 2015 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The initiative includes plans to connect
rural areas with high-speed internet networks. Digital India consists of three core components.
These include the following

1. The creation of digital infrastructure

2. Delivery of services digitally
3. Digital literacy

Digital India was launched by the Prime Minister of India Shri. Narendra Modi on 1 July 2015 - with
an objective of connecting rural areas with high-speed Internet networks and improving digital literacy.
The vision of Digital India programme is inclusive growth in areas of electronic services,
products, manufacturing and job opportunities etc. and it is centered on three key areas – Digital
Infrastructure as a Utility to Every Citizen, Governance & Services on Demand and Digital Empowerment
of Citizens.

The Government of India entity Bharat Broadband Network Limited which executes the National Optical
Fiber Network project will be the custodian of Digital India (DI) project. BBNL had ordered United
Telecoms Limited to connect 250,000 villages through GPON to ensure FTTH based broadband. This will
provide the first basic setup to achieve towards Digital India and is expected to be completed by 2017.The
government is planning to create 28,000 seats of BPOs in various states and set up at least one Common
Service Centre in each of the gram panchayats in the state

The 2016 Union budget of India announced 11 technology initiatives including the use data analytics to
nab tax evaders, creating a substantial opportunity for IT companies to build out the systems that will be
required. Digital Literacy mission will cover six crore rural households. It is planned to connect 550
farmer markets in the country through the use of technology.
Out of 10% English speaking Indians, only 2% reside in rural areas. Rest everyone depends on their
vernacular language for all living their lives. However, as of now, email addresses can only be created in
English language. To connect rural India with the Digital India, the Government of India impelled email
services provider giants including Gmail, office and rediff to provide email address in regional Languages.
However, the email provider companies has shown positive sign and is working in the same process.[10]
An Indian based company, Data Xgen Technologies Pvt Ltd, has launched world’s first free linguistic
email address under the name ‘DATAMAIL’ which allows to create email ids in 8 Indian languages,
English; and 3 foreign languages – Arabic, Russian and Chinese. Over the period of time the email service
in 22 languages will be offered by Data XGen Technologies

Objectives:
• To empower the country’s population digitally and build a governance model
based on the electronic infrastructure.
• To facilitate E-governance in the nation to advance the implementation of the
programs and policies effectively.
• To bring citizens closer to government schemes through the use of
electronic medium and online mode.
• To remove the hassles of off-line delivery of services.
• To encourage digital literacy among the masses and build a new India on the
pillars of the knowledge.
• To promote the concept of collaborative and participative governance through
the continuous interaction of people and state.
• To provide easy access to the services of the Common Service Centre.
• To leverage the technology of GIS for decision support systems and
development.
• To make all digital resources universally accessible to everyone in the nation.

Pillars of Digital India Scheme:
The program has been based on pushing the nine pillars of the development that has
the capability to integrate the governance process. They are as follows

1. Broadband Highways.
2. Universal Access to Mobile Connectivity.
3. Public Internet Access Programme.
4. E-Governance: Reforming Government through Technology.
5. E-Kranti – Electronic Delivery of Services.
6. Information for All.
7. Electronics Manufacturing.
8. IT for Jobs.
9. Early Harvest Programme.

Broadband Highways:

This covers three sub-components- namely Broadband for All Rural, Broadband for All Urban and National
Information Infrastructure. Department of Telecommunications has been made responsible as the Nodal
Department and the project cost is estimated to be approximately Rs. 32,000 crores.

Universal Access to Mobile Connectivity

This pillar is focused on increasing network penetration and filling the gaps in connectivity across the
nation. A total of 42,300 uncovered villages will be covered. Department of Telecommunications will be
the nodal department.

Public Internet Access Program

The two sub-components of this program are Common services Centre and Post Offices as multi-service
centers. The Department of Electronics and Information Technology is the nodal department to implement
the scheme.

E-Governance
Using IT to improve transactions is the most critical for transformation across government departments.
The program carries various aspects- Form simplification, Tracking of Online applications and Preparation
of online repositories.
