Digital India is a programme to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. The focus is on being transformative to realize IT (Indian Talent) + IT (Information Technology) = IT (India Tomorrow) It is an Umbrella Programme that covers multiple Government Ministries and Departments. It weaves together a large number of ideas and thoughts into a single, comprehensive vision so that each of them is seen as part of a larger goal. Each individual element stands on its own, but is also part of the larger picture. Digital India is to be coordinated by Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY) and implemented by the entire Government. The programme aims at pulling together many existing schemes. The schemes will be restructured and re-focused and will be implemented in a synchronized manner. Many elements are only process improvements with minimal cost implications. The common branding of programmes as Digital India highlights their transformative impact.
