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.
