Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India

 Digital India - a dream , a vision, a plan !



He has a great vision for the benefit of the nation and its citizens. The concept of Digital India is also linked in establishing various smart cities in India . With booming economy , great innovations and advancements in technology, we need to act responsibly and smartly to ensure that we reap useful things from what technology has to offer us.  It is also tipped that in the upcoming next few years this would definitely prove beneficial for consumers, business and society. The ultimate value add that it has to offer is to connect the market and the 
consumer through a digitized system.  But there are few points that needs to be highlighted to attain a Digital India dream. 

1. Facilitate and ensure affordable access with easily available data enabled services in form of Internet plans. Implementation of a channelized system such as mobile wallets that involves digital transactions and easy payments. Mobile wallet could be an ambitious plan and it would definitely work positive for the citizens. Low cost internet and internet enabled devices will always help! There should not be a disconnect between Rural and Urban India in terms of digital infrastructure facilities. High speed network coverage is a must in rural areas in order to give life to the Digital India plan. Also the government should motivate and incentivise Telecom players to provide cheap and affordable data plans.

2. Online distance education plan that provides free education to everyone wishing to avail education. We should feed our nations dream of 100% literacy and this point would prove beneficial to achieve this dream.

3. An e-governance mechanism to facilitate all stakeholders to function effectively

4. Ensuring an environment that allows consumer and market to  venture and connect with each other

5. Creating a digital work force.

6. Creating awareness among  people residing in rural India emphasizing the advantages of Internet and therebyeducating them to enroll in various digital education programmes. 

7. Connect tier 1,2 and 3 cities by harnessing the potential of internet.

8. Creating a common access channel for public access to internet. Internet has always been acting as a messiah since the last 2 decades and a lot has been said about it. One needs to harness the best out of it!

9.  Create a  repository of personal data in forms of certificates and belongings through a private  secure cloud network. A unique pin or an identification number would be generated for a person. Using this digital identification number , the person can access his private cloud network that would have access to all his details. So during important government activities, he or she doesn't needs to provide the entire list of documents. They just need to provide their unique cloud identity number that would contain his document details.

10. All transaction and services to be done from online and mobile. Digital India aims  to provide governance and services on demand. All the different departments of the Indian Government would provide online facilities to people to connect.  Another important goal or vision is to make financial transactions electronic and cashless. Few of the above points has already implemented such as  online  and mobile banking. It seems to be an ambitious project and a lot of efforts  have to be taken to bring this into reality.
