“ Today, much
development
mirrored in
Sustainable
of India’s
agenda is
the
Development
Goals.

”
– Hon’ble Prime Minister of India,
Shri Narendra Modi at the UN Sustainable
Development Summit, 25 Sept 16

As the world’s fastest growing major economy and IT powerhouse, India has undertaken
ambitious and innovative initiatives for participatory and inclusive development.

Digital India is the world’s largest programme for digital empowerment of citizens -
transforming India into a digital society and knowledge economy superpower, resolved
to achieve and sustain resilient development emphasizing People, Planet, Prosperity,
Peace and Partnership.

With the world’s largest roll-out of biometric based unique ID, enabling direct benefit
transfer and transitioning to less cash economy, India has emerged and established itself
amongst world leaders in digital governance. The credo “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas”
(Participation of All, Growth for All) can forge ahead globally, with Digital India offering
its support on a global platform – with Analysis (policy, government process re-
engineering, multi-purpose platforms and efficient decision support systems), Advocacy
(open standards, open data, grievance redressal and Information, Education &
Communication (IEC)) and Action (development of capacity and content, rapid
deployment and replication of successful e-governance projects, multi-stakeholder
partnerships and international cooperation).

This document highlights the performance and prospects for Digital India to exemplify
India’s enhanced global role and share its working model for the achievement of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as laid out in the UN Declaration “Transforming
Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”.

HON’BLE MINISTER OF
ELECTRONICS & IT AND LAW & JUSTICE,
GOVERNMENT OF INDIA

Sustainable Development Goals were announced in 2015, to address the challenges of

the economic divide, information asymmetry, dearth of accessible services for common
people, digital divide and climate change. Digital India program was initiated in 2014
with a vision to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge
economy, through Digital tools and technologies. Digital empowerment of Citizens,
Governments and Businesses is the most dominant factor in achieving Sustainable
Development Goals.

The Government of India has taken landmark initiatives under Digital India that are
unparalleled in scale, scope and impact. Digital identity for more than one billion citizens
through Aadhaar Platform, participation in Governance at all levels through MyGov
platform, digital financial inclusion for all households, Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to all
beneficiaries, doorstep delivery of digital services in every corner of the country through
Common Services Centers, safe and secured Digital Locker for everyone, large scale
infusion of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Agriculture, Health,
Education, Planning etc, are innovative projects under Digital India. These initiatives have
been designed with global benchmarks, latest technological frameworks and customized
for all kinds of users. Our confidence on these technology platforms has led us to move
forward towards digital economy resulting in ease of doing business, less cash society
and digitally connected nation.

I am glad to present the ‘Digital India – Global Roadmap’ for the benefit of academicians
and governments. This unique document has mapped the key focus areas of Digital India
and Sustainable Development Goals, which results in inclusive, equitable, efficient,
affordable, faster and above all, sustainable universal growth. This document will serve as
a reference guide to policy makers for optimally using technology for solving social,
economic and environmental problems of societies. This document also affirms our
commitment to collaborate with global leaders and communities on sharing knowledge
and experience for “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikaas” (Participation of all, Growth for All).

HON’BLE MINISTER OF STATE FOR
ELECTRONICS & IT AND LAW & JUSTICE,
GOVERNMENT OF INDIA

One of the significant parameters of assessing the societal development of a country is

the extent of penetration of information and communications technology (ICT) through
internet and mobile phones in the country. Access to ICT also gains relevance in the
newly adopted Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030 of the United Nations,
which exhort developing countries to provide universal and affordable access of internet
to their citizens. This is also one of the key aims of the Digital India initiative.

Digital India is aimed at transforming India into a digital economy as well as an inclusive
knowledge society. The initiative aims at bringing good governance to citizens through
synchronized and co-ordinated engagement of the entire Government.

Landmark initiatives such as Aadhaar, MyGov, DigiLocker, eSign, e-Hospital, BharatNet

etc have given impetus towards creating avenues for use of ICT in the lives of common
citizens and have further propelled the Digital India initiatives.

In this regard, the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology, Government of India
has prepared this document “Digital India - Global Roadmap”, which has succinctly
mapped the key focus areas of Digital India initiatives and corresponding Sustainable
Development Goals. "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikaas" being the driving mantra of this
Government, I hope that this document will assist academia as well as Government to
deliberate on policy frameworks and frame policies that use technology as a growth
agent for the country.

(P. P. CHAUDHARY)

1. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES AND CONTEXT
Sustainable development has become a major focus of international public policy since
the United Nations Declaration on Sustainable Development in 2015, endorsed by all 193
member countries. It identifies three core objectives for human development – economic
growth, social inclusion and environmental sustainability. The collective pursuit of these
objectives can help the world achieve ‘development that meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs.’

India as a signatory to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Declaration has pro-
actively initiated Digital India programme with focus on providing digital infrastructure as
a core utility, digital services on demand and digital empowerment to all citizens. All of
Digital India initiatives are making use of Information and Communication Technologies
for Development (ICT4D) that take advantage of mobile, social media, Cloud and data
analytics in delivering citizen-centric, business-centric and government-centric services
through mission-mode projects.

Healthcare Service Delivery at Common Services Centre

India is at the cusp of a digital revolution for which Digital India is the vehicle.
Pioneering Digital India efforts, such as Aadhaar - universal digital identity, Jan Dhan
Yojana - financial inclusion to every household, targeted public distribution system food
security to all eligible families, especially those below poverty line, Direct Benefit Transfer
(DBT) to all authenticated beneficiaries, Digital Sakasharta Abhiyan (DISHA) - digital
literacy in every household, Government eMarketplace (GeM) enabling product sellers
and service providers to directly transact with government procurement agencies etc.,
are transforming India into a digitally empowered society & knowledge economy.

1
The impact would further magnify as hitherto unreached people participate in the digital
world; rules and processes in service delivery are simplified and made nimble;
technology becomes more user-friendly, affordable and accessible to the citizens.
Technological advancements leveraged under Digital India such as artificial intelligence,
Internet of Things (IOT), cognitive analytics are force multipliers in effective provision of
and access to education, health, livelihoods, disaster-resilience and other critical
dimensions of sustainable development. These will keep on enabling accelerated growth
for achieving the SDGs, including peace, justice and security through cyber-secure
infrastructure.

Digital India promotes innovation and fosters inclusive growth by taking, e-governance
to the grassroot level, involving citizens, service providers and governance institutions.
The credo “SabkaSaath, SabkaVikas (Participation of All, Growth for All)” can be achieved
globally by Digital India, adopting a three-pronged strategy of Analysis (policy,
government process re-engineering, multi-purpose platforms and efficient decision
support systems), Advocacy (open standards, open data, grievance redressal and
Information, Education & Communication (IEC)) and Action (development of capacity
and content, rapid deployment and replication of successful e-governance projects,
multi-stakeholder partnerships and international cooperation).

Common Services Centre run by women village level entrepreneur

It is imperative to highlight Digital India’s role in transforming the lives of India’s billion-
plus population and in providing solutions that contribute towards higher performance
of businesses and service delivery institutions across the world. This positive impact
catalyses India’s global role as a leader and role model for the achievement of
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as laid out in the UN Declaration - “Transforming
Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”.

2
2. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs) -
RELEVANCE FOR DIGITAL INDIA
SDGs are comprehensive and focus
on five Ps – people, planet,
prosperity, peace and partnership.
Agenda 2030 is a set of 17 specific
goals – ranging from poverty
elimination, ending hunger and
malnutrition, health and well-being,
education, gender equality, water
and sanitation, energy, growth,
resilient infrastructure, inequality
reduction, sustainable production
and consumption, urbanisation and
habitat, climate change, life on
land, life below water, peace and
justice, and global partnerships - to
be achieved by 2030. These are
important areas that require urgent
and extensive attention at present and in the near future.

The above goals are aligned with the Digital India vision which is centred on three key
areas, viz., Digital Infrastructure as a Core Utility for Every Citizen, Governance and
Services on Demand, and Digital Empowerment of Citizens.

3
Accordingly, Digital India has a central role in the achievement of Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, for which India has made significant progress that
directly impacts the lives of over 1/6th of humanity.

4
3. DIGITAL CONTEXT
As documented in successive India Millennium Development Goals - Reports (2005-
2014), India has made progress on Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on halving
poverty, HIV / AIDS, drinking water, slums while lagging on goals pertaining to
education, health, nutrition, gender equality, sanitation and job creation. Now that the
SDGs have replaced the MDGs – with a wider scope, India has already set for itself more
ambitious targets for the achievement of SDGs in both the social sectors as also
economic progress, inclusion and sustainability.

Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s ambition to make India a model for the
achievement of SDGs globally, therefore focuses on greater efficiency and accelerated
effort – leveraging the potential of information technology and disruptive innovations.

Digital India initiatives have made tremendous impact on the digital profile of the
country that includes mobile penetration, internet penetration, coverage of digital
identity, digital services and transactions, rural empowerment, digital payments, digital
literacy, e-Healthcare, digital agriculture, digital outreach, electronic and system design
industries, and e-Commerce, amongst others.

4. MAPPING – DIGITAL INDIA AND SDGs
The formulation of a Global Roadmap Document for Digital India and SDGs is based
upon mapping of the interface between SDGs (17 Goals and 169 targets) and Digital
India. The mapping specifically covers the schemes relevant for each Goal and describes
where the key interventions are already under way or are in the process for
implementation. Moreover, given that the SDGs are closely interlinked, it helps to
pinpoint actionable issues where Digital India can foster better coordination and more
effective outcomes.

The mapping exercise indicates the direct linkage between the SDGs and Digital India
initiatives.

For instance, MGNREGA – one of the world’s largest rural employment guarantee
programme, which guarantees minimum 100 days’ employment on demand to rural
poor, is directly covering the Goal 1 – End Poverty in all its forms everywhere. NREGA
Soft Payments, an initiative under Digital India, enables wages being paid using Aadhaar
based Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). This ensures better management of MGNREGA and
timely payment of wages.

DBT is a programme for effecting direct transfer of entitlements like scholarships,

pensions, wages, etc. to beneficiaries across the country. Using DBT eliminates leakages
in the payments such as fake or ghost recipients as each beneficiary is electronically
authenticated. More importantly, the DBT platform brings more efficiency, accountability
and transparency in the process of benefit disbursal to the citizen. DBT also supports
major interventions such as the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) – the world’s
largest exercise of its kind in financial inclusion – by enabling transfer of funds to more
than 270 million newly opened no-frills bank accounts and triggering the switch to “less-
cash economy”, significantly reducing if not eliminating corruption.

Similarly, all other SDGs have direct intervention or indirect support from Digital
India – ranging from food security (Targeted Public Distribution system – an end-to-end
online PDS that automates and makes transparent all operations from procurement to
final disbursal) to health (e-Hospital for healthcare services and online registration
system for appointment in hospitals), education (SMS-based Mid-Day Meal monitoring,
and eBasta for digital school textbooks), gender equality (Beti Padhao, Beti Bachao
scheme for empowering girl child), drinking water & sanitation (Swachh Bharat app to
monitor waste management), rural energy services (GARV application to track progress
of rural electrification and DBT PAHAL helps in distribution of LPG cylinders in rural areas
to provide clean and efficient cooking fuel), sustainable growth (Common Services
Centres for village level entrepreneurs), entrepreneurship through Start-Up India
(incubation centres and scholarships for PhD students), resilient public infrastructure
(Meghraj – Government of India Cloud provides on demand computing and storage
infrastructure, BharatNet and National Knowledge Network provide high-speed
broadband connectivity), inculcation of innovation (DigiLocker provides access to
authentic documents from single source of truth), and inclusion of marginalized groups
through Stand-Up India app (for facilitating loans) for the differently-abled citizens,
among many others.

11
This mapping indicates that Digital India has the most direct relevance to SDG 17 that
underpins all SDGs – strengthening the means of implementation and partnerships.
Digital India is the umbrella for the JAM (JanDhan, Aadhaar and Mobile) trinity, Unified
Payment Interface (UPI), Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM) app, e-Trade MMP,
mMyGov, Electronic Transaction Aggregation & Analysis Layer (eTAAL), etc. These
directly contribute to better outcomes under SDG 17 in the areas of financial inclusion,
capacity building, trade, multi-stakeholder partnerships, data monitoring, technology,
and accountability.

Other SDG 17 - related interventions such as Goods & Services Tax (GST), online Income
Tax, e-Sansad, Project Management Information System (PMIS), knowledge and learning
management, e-procurement are also supported by Digital India initiatives such as Open
Forge, GST Network, PayOnline, DigiShala, DigiLocker, PMIS, Unified Mobile Application
for New-Age Governance (UMANG), etc.

The detailed visualisation of mapping between Digital India Initiatives and SDGs are as

4. MAPPING INSIGHTS
The mapping exercise done for SDGs and Digital India initiatives reveals how India has
conceptualized and could orchestrate a synchronised roll-out of digital initiatives
impacting a highly, diverse set of stakeholders. The diversity is so huge that it includes
more than 300 languages, multiple cultures, asymmetry in digital capacities, social
structures, ethnic groups, and complexities in terms of difficult geographic regions and
large population.

Major insights from the mapping exercise, include:

Digital India has enabled India to establish and strengthen institutional capacities
that provide agility, capacities, and openness to adapt disruptions brought by
emerging technologies like cloud, social media, data analytics and mobility
solutions.
Technology driven Disruption has become key to reinvent and leap frog rather
than cause any setback. Demonetization exercise in a time bound manner and
major push to digital payments are based on the confidence of these institutional
capabilities.
A comprehensive policy framework reinforced by legislations (Aadhaar Act, IT
Act) are focused on addressing critical gaps required for the overall
transformation into a Knowledge based Society.
Complementing the digital initiatives are Make in India (promotes opportunities
for business in and outside India), Skill India (creates a large pool of skilled
workforce), Stand-Up and Start-Up India (promotes entrepreneurship for
business and job creation etc), which together are transitioning India towards an
empowered economy.
With a federal political structure, Digital India has successfully adopted integrated
planning, participatory governance, and decentralized implementation wherein,
citizens can directly access and participate in the Government Schemes from
conceptualization to implementation and post-implementation assessment.
Digital literacy programme has covered 10 million citizens in a record time of two
and half years, which has resulted into multi-fold advantages as it helps them
access digital services and improve their livelihoods. This has led to revision in
digital literacy target to cover 60 million more Indian citizens.
Open Government, Open Data, Open Standards, Open Source, Open Forge, etc,
have enabled universalisation of information and knowledge assets which have
increased the confidence of society on digital platforms.
Jan Dhan Yojana, Aadhaar and Mobiles (JAM Trinity) - Aadhaar (provides unique
digital identity to 1.11 plus billion people), Jan Dhan (provides financial security to
280 million people) and 1.05 billion mobile subscribers, are transforming the face
of digital inclusion and inclusive growth.

30
The success of Digital India has gathered its strength from its institutional
framework wherein, the guidance has been provided by the highest echelon of
Political Class and implementation and monitoring are being done again by the
topmost Administrative functionaries considering necessary course corrective
inputs from the Industries and Common Citizens.
255,000 Common Services Centres impact over 600,000 villages, which is taking
the fruits of digital governance to rural hinterland, ensuring that rural population
gets same G2C/B2C services as urban population.
Digital India’s design and structure is empowered in a manner that the
constituents are agile and have been so far, able to promote innovation across
the spectrum from manufacturing to development of platforms to delivering
mechanisms/channels. Pioneering work in emerging areas of IoT, Artificial
Intelligence etc., signals to its resolve to keep the pace of its dynamic evolution.
Partnership and collaborations with Industry, businesses and Academic
institutions is another inherent aspect of Digital India that has significantly
enhanced the overall outcomes. The forthcoming UMANG and DigiGaon
initiatives demonstrate urge to keep enhancing the scale, scope, and reach.
Localisation is another hallmark that ensures the diversity of stakeholders and
their capacities are addressed locally and appropriately.

31
5. GLOBAL ROADMAP
SDGs will be met when the national vision translates into a strategy with specific
milestones for implementation. Digital India’s Global Roadmap provides a concise,
focused and forward-looking strategy for the accelerated achievement of SDGs and
India’s role in the forefront. Its initiatives facilitate assessment and review of the
implementation at national, state and local levels of the SDG agenda.

Digital India offers enormous scope for ensuring sustainable development in India as well
as globally. The Global Roadmap is about leveraging Digital India, underlying
technologies, content and innovation to improve service delivery and enhance quality of
life for sustainability indicators in countries across the globe. The potential benefits entail
rapid replication and roll-out of projects, adoption of best practices, capacity building at
all levels in government and civil society. These range from efficient government to
citizen (G2C) transfers for poverty reduction, secure citizen identity for better targeting of
social sector, financial inclusion and employment programmes, and safe document
registries and collaborative application development. Digital India can promote energy
efficiency for households and industry in developing countries, more efficient
transportation networks management, e-commerce and e-procurement, reducing
carbon-emitting travel and trade. Above all, Digital India’s ongoing and prospective
intervention can promote a better globalization where India takes the lead with other
countries reaping the benefits of our human capital and experience of implementation
on a large-scale.

Sustainability requires a fine balance between economic growth and environmental

concerns. India’s experience, expertise and best practices from Digital India can enable
this for our immediate South Asia neighbourhood and the entire Asia – Pacific region,
Africa and Latin America. Indeed, the scale of achievement by Digital India can also serve
as a model for OECD countries, who seek to reduce their carbon emissions, ensure
growth and more robust social security. The rest of the world will indeed benefit from
the lessons offered by the scale, scope and speed of accomplishments that has made
India, the fastest growing major economy.

India is committed to meeting the SDGs and targets based upon nationally agreed
indicators and action plan. The Prime Minister’s vision and commitment has enabled NITI
Aayog’s clear direction to have a 15-year Vision, 7-year strategy and 3-year Action Plan
for achievement of SDGs. Digital India is already leveraged by central ministries and state
governments to improve their SDG strategies. In view of this, as also the fact that
technology and innovation offer a disruptive model of accelerated achievement, Digital
India confidently assures the meeting of SDGs with resilience to achieve
ambitious milestones.

32
The strategies for universal progress towards Sustainable Development Goals are as
follows:

5.1 ANALYSIS
POLICIES FOR MAXIMUM GOVERNANCE AND MINIMUM GOVERNMENT

All programmes such as Digital India, Make in India, Skill India, Start-Up India are
reinforcing each other and fulfilling the gaps of each other. All policies focusing on
Integrated Planning and Decentralized Implementation to benefit the most
disadvantaged section of society are ensuring equitable governance. Social Media Policy,
Participatory Governance Policy, Source Open, Open Source, Email Policy, Cyber Security
Policy are being employed for participatory and more effective governance.

JAM TRINITY

Jan Dhan Yojana, Aadhaar and Mobile Solutions (JAM) have collectively transformed the
financial inclusion, digital inclusion and digital participation in India. 277 million new Bank
Accounts & deposit of Rupees 647 billion, unique, lifelong, authenticable, and
biometric-based digital identity to over 1.1 billion population and more than 1.05 billion
mobile subscribers shows the efficacy of JAM to deliver services to the population which
could not be covered earlier.

GOVERNMENT PROCESS RE-ENGINEERING

Simplification of rules, automation of workflows, and elimination of non-value added

activities and layers have been the focus of Digital India. e-Office has been implemented
to automate government offices. Government eMarketplace has been developed to
provide digital platform to government users and suppliers/service providers for
facilitating procurement of common use goods and services.

33
MULTI-PURPOSE PLATFORMS

Digital India initiatives such as Aadhaar (provides authentication services), Digital Locker
(provides document management services) and DBT (provides electronic payments to
beneficiaries) demonstrate multiple and cross-cutting use of latest technologies and
robust platform by several Organizations/Agencies to deliver G2C, B2C, G2G services.
Geographical Information System (GIS) based decision support system has been
developed to assist government officials in quick decision-making by providing several
asset information available on a single or few click(s).

MONITORING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Rapid Assessment System helps in getting feedback from citizens on the effective
implementation aspects of digital and non-digital projects. Digital India projects have
outcome oriented dashboards. These initiatives provide necessary direction for course
correction and aid in healthy competition amongst the organizations and MMPs to
perform better and deliver outstanding results.

5.2 ADVOCACY
OPEN DATA AND OPEN STANDARDS

Digital India initiatives such as India Portal, Open Data Portal, National Health Portal,
provide open access to information and data on the availability, access and effectiveness
of services, which have direct bearings on SDGs. Business and Researchers can make use
of these data for further analysis and development of innovative citizen centric solution.
Domain related meta data and data standards for application and database
development can be utilized to develop interoperable and integrated systems.

GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL

Centralized Public Grievance Monitoring System helps in civic engagement and client
feedback, which are sustained with timely response to grievances and constraints faced
by citizens on everything related to governance. This ensures greater awareness of rights
and responsibilities of citizens, service providers and government institutions.

INFORMATION, EDUCATION & COMMUNICATION (IEC)

Public awareness of services offered under Digital India and results required for SDGs
can be facilitated through multiple media both online and offline. MyGov platform with 4
million registered users are participating in policy formulation, design, development and
implementation of projects.

34
5.3 ACTION
DEVELOPMENT OF CAPACITY AND CONTENT

The generation of appropriate content for digital applications in support of SDGs is

undertaken through specific Digital India initiatives such as DISHA (provides digital
literacy to each household), DIGISHALA (provides financial literacy to every users) and
Capacity Building plan for government officials and civil societies/organizations.

INNOVATIVE USE OF JAM TRINITY

JAM has been found to be very effective in taking government benefits directly to
previously uncovered population, which has cut short the duration of delivery and
checked the leakage. These could be successfully shared with countries to replicate and
ensure enhanced outreach thus ensuring nobody gets left behind.

RAPID DEPLOYMENT AND REPLICATION OF SUCCESSFUL E-GOVERNANCE PROJECTS

Digital India projects such as Aadhaar, Digital Locker, Open Forge, e-Hospital, Online
Registration System, Government eMarketplace, Land Record Management System,
National Scholarship Portal, demonstrate the capabilities to implement solutions in
complex and diverse environments with larger populations, multiple languages, and
religious groups.

MULTI-STAKEHOLDER PARTNERSHIPS AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

The global convergence for SDGs require specific solutions to bring together
Governments, International Organizations, Private Sector, Academia, Research
Institutions, and Domain Experts from across the globe to identify and implement
sustainable solution, to alleviate the problems of humanity. Digital India initiatives can
foster knowledge networking and learning management in diverse and heterogeneous
contexts leveraging the experience in India.

Digital India is transforming India and has been instrumental in bridging the digital divide,
economic divide and information divide and it continues to bridge the gaps. India affirms
its global commitment on Sustainable Development Goals and is ready to collaborate with
global institutions and communities for sharing the knowledge and experience to realise
the goals of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikaas” (Participation of All, Growth for All).
