Dr. C. Suresh Kumar

Abstract: The Indian government's Digital India program intends to make India a knowledge economy and a society empowered by technology. It includes a number of programs aimed at closing the digital divide and guaranteeing that the advantages of technology are felt throughout the nation, even in rural areas. With the use of digital technologies to empower rural populations and solve a range of issues, Digital India has great potential to improve the socioeconomic status and quality of life in rural India. The Digital India program is one such project that has helped India become the world's most digitally advanced economy. The nation wants to close the digital gap between the urban and rural sectors and elevate the rural areas in particular as engines of growth. In order to fully achieve digitalization in rural India, a few areas of focus for innovation have been proposed. The current article aims to assess the many initiatives that have been implemented thus far to promote digitalization in the rural sector.
