In line with Hon'ble Prime Minister's vision to democratise technology and empower citizens, the Government of India had launched the Digital India programme in July, 2015.
The overall goal is to ensure that digital technologies improve the life of every citizen, expand India's digital economy, and create investment and employment opportunities in India.
At its core, the programme promotes three interconnected goals: strengthening digital infrastructure, delivering government services digitally, and empowering citizens through digital literacy and employment.
From expanding internet access in remote villages to revolutionising public service delivery through digital platforms, the country has bridged the urban-rural divide like never before.
Digital India includes many flagship programmes that cut across sectors: DigiLocker for secure document access, Unified Payments Interface (UPI) for cashless transactions, Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance (UMANG) for accessing digital services through mobile App, CoWIN for vaccine management, and Government e-Marketplace (GeM) for procurement transparency.
Details of some of the key initiatives taken by the Government to make Information Technology accessible to citizens residing in rural, hilly and remote areas of the country including state of Assam and entire Northeast region are as follows:
Digital India also actively advocates and works with State Governments for development of technology & entrepreneurship in various Tier-2 & Tier-3 towns of India led by organizations like Software Technology Park of India (STPI) & National Institute of Electronics & Information Technology (NIELIT).
Further, National Informatics Centre (NIC), an attached office of Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), has its State Centres at State level and District level all over India. These State and District Centres continuously guide and assist various State & District level Government Offices in developing and implementing various ICT applications.
Common Service Centres have been established up to the Gram Panchayat level in all the States to provide information technology services.
This information was submitted by Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Shri Jitin Prasada in Rajya Sabha on 12.12.2025.
