Digital India Unbound

Today in India we have available enough infrastructure, knowledge, exposure and experience needed for the successful practice of Digital India. However the percentage of people who are aware of these resources and applying them in their daily life for professional and personal purposes is very small compared to rest of the population.

Let me give you an example.   As part of digital India citizen services suite  the Indian government has made available a world class secure digital storage service called Digilocker. Digilocker is open and available to every Indian resident having Aadhaar number or mobile.  Residents can store and share documents securely. However the the number of Indian residents who have created accounts on Digilocker and using it on regular basis is very small. In my opinion  every college going student in India  should have created account by now and has been using it actively.   This needs immediate attention and action
