NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 1 shared a detailed reflection on the completion of 10 years of the Digital India initiative, a mission to democratize access, build inclusive digital infrastructure, and opportunities for all.
In a post on the social media platform LinkedIn, PM Modi shared his blog titled “A Decade of Digital India where he stressed that while previous decades were marked by scepticism about Indians’ ability to use technology, his Government changed that approach by trusting the citizens’ capabilities. Its now become a people’s movement,” he added.
PM Modi emphasised that technology was used not to widen disparities but to bridge the gap between the privileged and the marginalised. The article reads, “Ten years ago, we embarked on a bold journey into uncharted territory with great conviction. While decades were spent doubting the ability of Indians to use technology, we changed this approach and trusted the ability of Indians to use technology.
PM Modi added, “When the intent is right, innovation empowers the less empowered. When the approach is inclusive, technology brings change in the lives of those on the margins. This belief laid the foundation for Digital India: a mission to democratise access, build an inclusive digital infrastructure, and provide opportunities for all,” he added.
