Introduction to
Digital India
Digital India is a programme to transform India into digital
empowered society and knowledge economy. The Digital India is
transformational in nature and would ensure that Government
services are available to citizens electronically. It would also
bring in public accountability through mandated delivery of
government’s services electronically, a Unique ID and e-
Pramaan based on authentic and standard based interoperable
and integrated government applications and data basis.
Digital India programme was launched on 1st July, 2015
to enable digital delivery of services to citizens. Based on the
success of the programme, the Union Cabinet during August
2023 approved the expansion of the Digital India programme.
The total outlay is ₹14,903 crores.
E-governance initiatives
• The Digital India program aims to transform
India into a digitally empowered society and
knowledge economy.
• Key e-governance initiatives include the
National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) and
MyGov.in portal for citizen engagement.
• These initiatives leverage technology to
improve public service delivery, increase
transparency, and drive citizen participation.
Aadhaar - Unique Identification System
Aadhaar is India's unique digital identity system, providing a
12-digit unique identification number to all residents. It serves
as the foundation for e-governance initiatives, enabling secure,
convenient access to government services and benefits.
The Aadhaar card provides a single source of identity
verification, using biometric data like fingerprints and iris
scans to authenticate individuals. This helps streamline service
delivery and minimize fraud across a wide range of digital
applications
Digital Education Initiatives
National Digital Educational
Architecture (NDEAR)
PM eVIDYA
Programme
DIKSHA SWAYAM
IIn the Union Budget 2021-22,the Indiangovernment
established the National Digital Educational Architecture
(NDEAR) to strengthen digital infrastructure and support
activities related to education planning. The NDEAR aims to
offer distinct education ecosystem architecture for
advancement of digital infrastructure inthe country and
guarantee autonomy of stakeholders, especially states and
UTs.
The government introduced the PM eVIDYA
programme in May 2020 to make e-learning more
accessible for Indian students and teachers and
promote & strengthen digital education inIndia. The
programme aims to converge all activities related to
online/digital education and is expected to benefit
~25 crore school students.
In September 2017, the government introduced DIKSHA
(Digital Infrastructure for Knowledge Sharing), a national
portal for school education, to offer school curriculum-
based engaging learning materials to students, teachers,
and parents. The portal supports >18 Indian languages and
has been implemented by 35 states/UTs.
In 2017, the government launched Study Webs of Active Learning
for Young Aspiring Minds (SWAYAM) to offer an integrated platform
for online courses at affordable costs to all citizens, especially the
underprivileged section in the country.
The portal hosts Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to offer
quality education on various subjects for students (from Class 9-12
to Under Graduates and Post Graduates).
DigiLocker - Digital
Document Storage
DigiLocker is a crucial component of
the Digital India initiative, enabling
secure and convenient storage of
official documents in a digital format.
It allows citizens to access their
documents anytime, anywhere,

VIEWS ON BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
What is blockchain?
Blockchain is a shared,immutable ledger that facilitates the
process of recordingtransactions and trackingassets in a
business network.
An asset can be tangible (a house, car, cash, land)or
intangible (intellectual property, patents, copyrights,
branding).Virtuallyanythingofvalue can be tracked and
traded on a blockchain network, reducingrisk and cutting
costs for all involved
Why is blockchain important?
Business runs on information.The faster informationis
received and the more accurate it is, the better.
Blockchain is ideal for deliveringthat information
because it provides immediate, shared, and observable
information that is stored on an immutable ledger that
onlypermissioned networkmembers can access. A
blockchain networkcan track orders, payments,
accounts, productionand much more. And because
members share a single view of the truth, you can see all
details ofa transaction end to end, giving you greater
confidence, and new efficiencies and opportunities.
Key elements of a blockchain
Distributed ledger technology
All network participantshave access to the
distributedledger and its immutablerecord
of transactions. With this shared ledger,
transactions are recorded only once,
eliminatingthe duplicationof effort that’s
typicalof traditional businessnetworks.
Immutable records
No participantcan change or tamper with a
transactionafter it’s been recorded to the
shared ledger. If a transaction
record includes an error, a new transaction
must be added to reverse the error, and both
transactions are then visible.
How blockchain works
As each transaction occurs, it is recorded as a
“block” of data
Those transactions show the movement of an
asset that can be tangible (a product) or
intangible (intellectual). The data block can
recordthe informationof your choice: who,
what, when, where, how much. It can even
recordthe condition, such as the temperature
of a food shipment.
Each block is connected to the ones before
and after it
These blocksform a chain of data as an asset
moves from place to place or ownership
changes hands.The blocks confirm the exact
time and sequence of transactions, and the
blocks link securely together to prevent any
block from being altered or a block being
inserted between two existing blocks.
Transactions are blocked together in an irreversible
chain: a blockchain
Each additional block strengthens the verification of the
previous block and hence the entire blockchain. Rendering
the blockchain tamper-evident, deliveringthe key strength
of immutability. Removing the possibility of tampering by
a malicious actor, and builds a ledger of transactions you
and other network memberscan trust.
THANK YOU

Each block is connected to the ones before and after it These blocksform a chain of data as an asset moves from place to place or ownership changes hands.The blocks confirm the exact time and sequence of transactions, and the blocks link securely together to prevent any block from being altered or a block being inserted between two existing blocks. Transactions are blocked together in an irreversible chain: a blockchain Each additional block strengthens the verification of the previous block and hence the entire blockchain. Rendering the blockchain tamper-evident, deliveringthe key strength of immutability. Removing the possibility of tampering by a malicious actor, and builds a ledger of transactions you and other network memberscan trust.
