Digital India nears 11 years, driving India's next phase of technology-led growth

On 1 July 2015, Digital India was launched with the vision of transforming India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. Eleven years on, that transformation is visible at every level of Indian life: In the village panchayat connected through high-speed broadband, in the farmer receiving direct benefit transfers within seconds, and in the student accessing quality education on a smartphone. Internet connections have grown approximately four times than earlier.
