Digital India is a project started by the government of India on 1st July 2015 (from 1st to 7th of July as a digital week) to transform India into a digitally empowered and knowledgeable country in the world. This project is interconnected by the various governmental departments such as IT, education, agriculture, etc., to achieve a promising bright return. It is headed and planned by the ministry of communications and information technology. It is like a golden opportunity for India when got implemented properly.
At the very start of the project launch, there was a plan by the state government to make available high-speed internet connections in almost 250,000 villages and other residential areas of the country. The “Bharat Broadband Network Limited (BBNL)” ‘s crucial role in this project is appreciable.
In digital India, there would be easy digitization of data which will help make things much more efficient and fast. It will reduce paperwork, save manpower and save time as well. This project will take speed by tying the knot between the government and private sectors. Many villages interconnected with high-speed networks will undergo a huge change from backward regions to complete digitally equipped areas.
India’s cities, towns, and villages will get more tech-savvy. This project has been planned to be completed by 2019 with the investment of leading companies (national or international). Ambani declared it to invest around 2.5 lac crore in the digital India project.
