NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on July 1 said that the success of 11 years of the Digital India initiative has given the country a new identity worldwide.
PM Modi said this feat reveals the resolve of the countrymen to take the nation to new heights by embracing innovation and technology.
“Digital India is the strong foundation of a developed and self-reliant India. Over the past 11 years, it has played a crucial role in empowering the poor and deprived, while making the lives of citizens easier,” PM Modi said in a post on X.
“When over a billion people embrace technology, the impact is transformative,” he added.
From the expansion of optical fibre networks to digital transactions, the unprecedented success of this campaign has drawn the attention of the entire world towards India.
“Today, we mark 11 years since the Digital India initiative was launched. This initiative has redefined governance, empowered citizens, and accelerated all-round development. It has touched every aspect of life,” PM Modi emphasised.
From seamless digital payments and direct benefit transfers reaching beneficiaries with transparency to the expanding digital public infrastructure, technology has become a powerful instrument for furthering ‘Ease of Living,’ PM Modi said.
Digital India has taken the wave of innovation to all parts of India, especially villages, Tier 2 and 3 cities. Young entrepreneurs, startups, and innovators from every corner of the country are creating solutions to the pressing challenges that our planet faces.
“This initiative has strengthened education, healthcare, agriculture, commerce and public service delivery, making governance more transparent, efficient and accessible,” said PM Modi.
