The Digitize India scheme includes plans to connect rural areas with high-speed internet networks and improve digital literacy. The vision of the campaign is inclusive growth in all sectors. While Make In India was devised to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub from an import-centric consumer market, the Digital India programme was about reviving infrastructure projects and bring a measure of digitisation in every aspect of life — from finance to education to commerce and governance. It has emerged as the second-fastest digital adopter among seventeen major digital economies. This rapid growth helps propel India to the forefront of digital and technological innovation, particularly leveraging the energies of the country’s young population. Despite the large base of internet users, the internet penetration rate in the country stood at around 50 percent in 2020. This meant that around half of the 1.37 billion Indians had access to internet that year.
