Passage 1: Digital India and E-Governance Reforms (989 Strokes)
SSC DEST Master Text
The Digital India programme is a flagship initiative of the Government of India with a vision to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. E-Governance initiatives across the country have revolutionized public service delivery by ensuring transparency, efficiency, and real-time citizen grievance redressal. The integration of Aadhaar with direct benefit transfer schemes has plugged major leakages in welfare subsidies, saving thousands of crores of public revenue. Digital platforms like Unified Payments Interface, DigiLocker, and Government e-Marketplace have established world-class digital public infrastructure. Today, even remote rural citizens can access government entitlements, banking facilities, and educational portals seamlessly through Common Services Centres established nationwide. The widespread expansion of high-speed optical fibre connectivity under BharatNet continues to bridge the digital divide between urban and rural populations.
