Digital India is a flagship programme of the Government of India, launched on July 1, 2015, by Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi with the vision to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. Digital India has been improving the lives of all citizens through the digital delivery of services, expanding the digital economy and employment opportunities.

The Digital India programme has demonstrated a consistent upward growth trajectory, achieving numerous milestones and flagship initiatives. These accomplishments span a wide array of sectors, including developing broadband highways, universal access to mobile connectivity, public internet access programmes and digital governance.

The future of Digital India is poised for remarkable advancements, leveraging emerging technologies to further drive innovation and growth. The ongoing commitment to digital transformation will continue to enhance service delivery, promote inclusive growth and strengthen India’s position as a global leader in the digital economy. With sustained efforts and strategic initiatives, Digital India is set to redefine the socio-economic landscape of the nation, fostering a brighter, more connected future for all citizens.

According to the State of India’s Digital Economy Report, 2024, unveiled by the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER) stated that India comes in third place in terms of the digitalisation of the economy. India’s digital infrastructure has been a key driver of its third-place ranking. With a clear focus on realising the vision of a “Viksit Bharat” i.e. Developed India by 2047, the government has laid out a comprehensive plan aimed at empowering citizens through social welfare programs, skill development and education. These elements are the core of the Viksit Bharat goal. Furthermore, in terms of cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, quantum computing and space exploration, India is envisioned to emerge as a global leader under the Viksit Bharat vision. Through these strategic initiatives, Digital India aims to foster inclusive growth, enhance innovation and position itself at the forefront of technological advancements on the world stage.
