Digital India

Digital India is a programme to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy.

The focus is on being transformative to realize IT (Indian Talent) + IT (Information Technology)

= IT (India Tomorrow)

It is an Umbrella Programme that covers multiple Government Ministries and Departments. It weaves together a large number of ideas and thoughts into a single, comprehensive vision so that each of them is seen as part of a larger goal.

Each individual element stands on its own, but is also part of the larger picture. Digital India is to be coordinated by DeitY and implemented by the entire Government.

The programme aims at pulling together many existing schemes. The schemes will be restructured and re-focused and will be implemented in a synchronized manner. Many elements are only process improvements with minimal cost implications. The common branding of programmes as Digital India highlights their transformative impact.
