A Decade of Digital India: Reflections by PM Narendra Modi

Celebrating a Digital Revolution

In a recent LinkedIn post, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reflected on the transformative journey of Digital India over the past decade. With the vision of an Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India), the initiative has played a pivotal role in leveraging technology for the nation’s growth. Modi’s insights emphasize the shift from skepticism to a belief in the capabilities of Indian citizens when it comes to technology adoption.

Empowering Citizens through Technology

The Prime Minister noted that earlier decades were fraught with doubt about whether Indians could effectively utilize technology. However, with the launch of Digital India, the government actively placed trust in its citizens. By providing the necessary tools and resources, they empowered people to harness digital platforms for various aspects of life, from education to entrepreneurship.

Building an Aatmanirbhar Bharat

Modi reiterated that the essence of Digital India lies in its contribution to building an Aatmanirbhar Bharat. This does not merely entail self-sufficiency; it represents a fundamental change in mindset that encourages growth through digital innovation. The approach taken by his administration has been about creating an ecosystem where every citizen can thrive using technology, thus fostering a stronger, more resilient nation.
