Digital India is a program launched by the Indian government to transform India into a digitally empowered society. It has three steps: improving online infrastructure, increasing internet connectivity, and ensuring government services are electronically available to citizens. The nine pillars of Digital India were developed in consultation with chief ministers from 29 states and 7 union territories. The program aims to provide broadband access to 2.5 lakh villages, universal phone connectivity, 400,000 public internet access points, Wi-Fi access in 2.5 lakh schools and universities, and job creation through direct and indirect means. It also aims to implement e-governance and e-services across government departments.
