The Pradhan Mantri Gramin Digital Saksharta Abhiyan (PMGDISHA) aims to provide digital literacy training to rural citizens across India. Launched under the Skill India scheme, PMGDISHA seeks to impart both theoretical and practical digital skills to youth in rural and backward areas. The goal is to train 6 crore students by 2019 to reduce the gap between digital skills and access of rural and urban youth. It works through 250,000 gram panchayats that each register 200-300 candidates to receive training through a network of helpers under the scheme.

3. MOTIVE OF PMGDISHA
 PM claims that when he talks about 'Digital India',
he is not referring to the rich, but to the poor.
 Keeping this in mind, the scheme's purpose is to
provide quality technical and digital training-
both theoretically and practically- to the large
number of youths from the backward or rural areas
to make them equally digitally educated as the rich
youth, and to create economical, social and cultural
opportunities for them.

4. GOAL OF PMGDISHA
 The project is expected to be one of the largest
initiatives of the country with an overall target of
training 6 crore students till the financial year, 2019.
 In order to be able to attain this large reach, the
government has accepted 250,000 Gram Panchayats
to register at least 200-300 candidates each. The
ultimate aim is to span the gap between the rural and
urban youth.

5. HOW DOES IT WORK?
 The PMGDISHA has a network of helping hands who
work together to provide to the underprivileged
sections of the society, to spread digital
empowerment amongst marginalized communities
and Panchayati constituencies, and to educate at
least one person from each authorized household.
