1.INTRODUCTION
Today, the world has transformed from a
knowledge savvy to techno knowledge savvy.
Think of something and it is available in one click.
So, Digital India is a step by the government to
inspire and connect Indian Economy to such a
knowledge savvy world. The program targets to
make Government services available to people
digitally and enjoy the benefit of the newest
information and technological innovations. It
brings out various schemes like E-Health Digital
Locker, E-Sign,E-Education etc. and nationwide
scholarship portal. Digital India is a great plan but
its improper implementation due to inaccessibility
& inflexibility to requisite can lead to its failure.
The program strives to provide equal benefit to the
user and service provider. The consumers will be
benefited by way of saving time, money, physical
& cognitive energy spent in lengthy government
processes. For e.g. digital ticketing will lead to
reduction in queue at ticket counter with online
resources for booking, online tax-return filing etc.
The aim of Digital India to give a Unique ID and
ebased on authentic and standard based
interoperable and integrated government
applications and data basis. This digitalizing will
also lead to paperless work and reduction in cost to
the reduce in expenses of the government.
Government services will be available to every
citizen electronic call.

2. 2.SCOPE OF DIGITAL INDIA:
Digital Technologies which include Cloud
Computing and Mobile Applications have emerged
as catalysts for rapid economic growth and citizen
empowerment across the globe. Digital
technologies are being increasingly used by us in
everyday lives from retail stores to government
offices. They help us to connect with each other
and also to share information on issues and
concerns faced by us. In some cases they also
enable resolution of those issues in near real
time.Its now time for us to digitalize for country.
The programme comprises of various initiatives,
each targeted to prepare India for becoming a
knowledge economy and for bringing good
governance to citizens through synchronized and
co-ordinated engagement of the entire government.
What is Digital India?
It is a programme to prepare India for a knowledge
future.The focus is to transform to realize IT plus
IT = IT. The focus is on making technology central
to enabling change. It is an Umbrella Programme
covering many departments. It combines 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 larger picture it is
coordinated by deity, implemented by the entire
government.The weaving together makes the
Mission transformative in totality.
A.Digitalization:
It is a combination of many existing schemes.
These schemes will be restructured and re-focused.
They will be implemented in a synchronized
manner. Many elements are only process
improvements with minimal cost.The common
branding of programmes as Digital India highlights
their transformative impact.
B.Vision of Digital India

4.Impacts of Digital India:
The Digital India project provides a huge
opportunity to use the latest technology to redefine
the paradigms of service delivery. A digitally
connected India can help in improving social and
economic condition of people living in rural areas
through development of non-agricultural economic
activities apart from providing access to education,
health and financial services. However, it is
important to note that ICT alone cannot directly
lead to overall development of the nation. The
overall growth and development can be realized
through supporting and enhancing elements such as
literacy, basic infrastructure, overall business
environment, regulatory environment, etc.
a.Economic impact:
According to analysts, the Digitalizing India could
boost GDP up to $1 trillion by 2025.7 It can play a
key
role in macro-economic factors such as GDP
growth, employment generation, labor productivity,
growth in number of businesses and revenue
leakages for the Government.
As per the World Bank report, a 10% increase in
mobile and broadband penetration increases the per
capita GDP by 0.81% and 1.38% respectively in
the developing countries. India is the 2nd largest
telecom market in the world with 915 million
wireless subscribers and world’s 3rd largest
Internet market8 with almost 259 million
broadband users.9 There is still a huge economic
opportunity in India as the tele-density in rural
India is only 4510 where more than 65% of the
population lives. Future growth of
telecommunication industry in terms of number of
subscribers is expected to come from rural areas as
urban areas are saturated with a tele-density of
more than 160%.
The digital platform can enable more creative and
service-oriented business models that create
employment opportunities. The Digital India
project itself will create employment opportunities
for 17 million11 people directly or indirectly which
will help in fighting against unemployment
problems in India. Government has planned to give
IT training to 100 million students in smaller towns
and villages as employment opportunity in IT
sector is very high in India.
b.Social impact:
Social sectors such as education, healthcare, and
banking are unable to reach out to the citizens due
to obstructions and limitations such as middleman,
illiteracy, ignorance, poverty, lack of funds,
information and investments. These challenges
have led to an imbalanced growth in the rural and
urban areas with marked differences in the
economic and social status of the people in these
areas.
Modern ICT makes it easier for people to obtain
access to services and resources. The penetration of
mobile devices may be highly useful as a
complementary channel to public service delivery
apart from creation of entirely new services which
may have an enormous impact on the quality of life
of the users and lead to social modernization.
5.Challenges:
 Coordination Issues.
 Program covers many other departments.
 Need commitment, effort, leadership and
support for success of digitalising.
Estimated costs for digitalizing:
 To made digital india Rs 100,000 crores is
estimated.

6.  To implement new schemes and activities
Rs 13,000 Cr is required.
