DIAG to provide ideas and accelerate rollout of Digital India Programme

To provide ideas for enriching and accelerating the rollout of Digital India Programme across the Country, MAIT has launched the Digital India Action Group (DIAG). DIAG will strive to ensure the success of the Digital India Programme by providing strategic inputs to various Committees and Teams that would be constituted under the aegis of the PMO, DeitY and other Government Departments and Ministries.

Debjani Ghosh, Vice-President, MAIT, said, “Technology has the potential to connect the whole of India and benefit each and every citizen. Digital India should enable the percolation of technology to the people and each citizen should be able to access government services with ease.”

She further said that MAIT is best suited to support and complement the efforts of the Government in implementing Digital India as it has a vast knowledge base from across the IT ecosystem, which can prove to be a game-changer for this ambitious programme.

Ajai Chowdhry, Founder, HCL, said that Digital India is a very ambitious programme as for the first time we are trying to look at a bigger picture or beyond the traditional scope of a typical e-Governance programme. He said that now the focus should be to deeply analyze each and every piece of this paradigm and make it work in perfect harmony.

Gaurav Dwivedi, CEO, MyGov, stated, “As far as Digital India is concerned, there are so many different elements like the way e-Governance has progressed over the past few years. I see a complete paradigm shift as e-services now have become the centre of every Government organization”. See more
