PM Modi Celebrates 10 Years of Digital India: ‘A People’s Movement’
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his latest remarks on the completion of 10 years of the Digital India initiative, hailed the mission as a "people's movement" that has transformed lives and bridged the digital divide across the country. Launched in 2015, the Digital India programme aimed at transforming India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy.
Over the last decade, the initiative has gone far beyond its initial vision. It is now credited with revolutionizing digital governance, strengthening digital infrastructure, enhancing digital literacy, and improving access to public services for millions.
"Digital India is no longer just a government initiative. It has become a people’s movement, rooted in the spirit of empowerment and inclusion," PM Modi said during a commemorative address.
