Digital India is an ambitious campaign to ensure that government services are available to all the citizens electronically. It was launched by the Government of India on 1st of July, 2015 at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium, Delhi. With a vision to bringing the digital revolution to mass people of India from cities to villages improving online infrastructure and by increasing Internet connectivity to digitize India using every branch of technology.
Some of the facilities which have been provided through this program are Digital Locker, e-education, e-health, e-sign, national scholarship portal, digital India app. Digital technology in India has reduced paperwork, saved manpower and time as well as given a high boost to digital marketing and created a lot of job opportunities. The importance of digital India is beyond explanation. This project has taken speed by tying the knot between the government and private sectors. The huge number of villages interconnected with the high-speed network has really undergone a huge change from backward regions to complete digitally equipped areas. All the cities, towns and villages in India are more tech-savvy. This project has been planned to be completed by 2019 with the investment of leading companies. IT will really change the complete face of India. Impacts of ‘Make in India’ & ‘Digital India’ in India will be felt in 2017-18:
