Role of 'Digital India' in the Economy
The phenomenon
of Digital India has taken the whole country by a storm. The concept of a
digitized India is the most popular topic in the discussion about the latest technology news and updates in India.
Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, has taken many steps in order to
push towards a digital economy. This shift towards the digitization of the
Indian economy aims at solving many problems citizens face in their daily life
and also promises to take India to a higher level as an economy.
E-Governance
Digital India
aims at providing e-governance to the citizens of India. This will help people
to connect easily with government run institutions and departments. The motive
of going online with all kinds of governmental jobs is to ensure that all these
works are done electronically and the country becomes completely paperless in
the coming years. Facilities like Digital lockers and Broadband Highways in
rural parts of the country will make sure that the citizens can interact with
the government faster than ever and their identification papers are easily
accessible by them from anywhere without any hassles of running from pillar to
post to get a simple job done.
More Jobs
Edging towards a
Digital India has created many jobs. Huge job opportunities have come up in the
IT sector. IT training has been made available to a large number of people to
make them skilful and job-ready. This will cause the standard of living to
increase and also help in urbanisation of rural areas. Illiteracy and lack of
connectivity in many parts of India are the chief reasons that hold the Indian
economy back from moving to a higher position in the global economy. ‘Digital
India’ will be more connected and a rapidly growing economy.
Better GDP Growth and Distribution
The creation of
jobs will not be limited to the IT sector once ‘Digital India’ starts
progressing at a higher pace. More jobs in the IT sector will create further
jobs in the manufacturing sector because of rapid growth in infrastructure. Skilled
labour would be demanded and it would increase more than the meagre 2% it
stands at now. The average income of people would increase too as a result. The
lower class would move towards becoming middle class and middle class would go
towards turning upper class in the society. According to latest Digital India news, the agricultural
sector constitutes to just 14% of the GDP and has most of the population dependent
on it. It will see a reform as more people will join the tertiary sector. The
GDP will be better distributed and the wage gap will decrease. The growth rate
of GDP every year will increase to 10% from the 6-7% it grows at now.
End Corruption
‘Digital India’
will also help the economy by putting an end to corruption. Cash money will not
be used because of the emergence of many options to pay electronically. This
will serve as a major obstacle towards hoarding of illegally obtained cash by
corrupt people. Corruption will decline as a result and the Indian economy will
benefit from it in a large way.
Digital India
has started a journey filled with hope and opportunity for the citizens of
India. Know more about this ambitious campaign at Digiindia.com and also get to
