In a recent post, PM Modi reflected on the transformative impact of the Digital India initiative, which was launched a decade ago. The initiative’s initial goal was to bridge the digital gap, enhance internet access, digitize governmental services, and equip citizens with technology. The program has evolved into a pivotal aspect of daily life for many Indians. Digital India’s successes include widespread broadband through BharatNet, streamlined public services via Aadhaar, DigiLocker, UMANG, and CoWIN, and the digital payments revolution driven by UPI. The initiative has also spurred entrepreneurship and financial inclusion. Future endeavors will center on AI, cybersecurity, and 5G technologies, continuing to bring technological advancements to the masses.
