Digitalisation of the Indian economy, along with the increasing use of smartphones in the past few years has propelled cashless transactions and online purchases.

According to the Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER), India’s score on digital prowess has surpasses that of developed nations such as Japan, the United Kingdom and Germany in the aggregate level of digitalisation.

Government initiatives like Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) and the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) schemes have helped in universal access and enhanced financial inclusion in the country.

Increased mobile and broadband penetration will deepen financial inclusion and boost new digital services.

Advanced and new digital lifestyle and life-saving services like digital entertainment, online education, tele-medicine, digital health and disaster response will capitalise on better mobile and internet services.

Healthcare schemes like Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) is building backbone to support the integrated digital health infrastructure of the country. e-Hospital have made healthcare facilities more accessible, e-Sanjeevani, the National Telemedicine Service of India is another step towards digital health to achieve Universal Health Coverage.

In education, Covid-19 gave a new direction to school education, saw school classroom lectures shift to digital screens.
