PILLAR 1. BROADBAND HIGHWAYS
Broadband networks that will span India's cities, towns and 250,000 villages by end of 2016, along with a system of networks and data centers called the National Information Infrastructure.
Mobile broadband use has exploded, currently standing at 85 million users, driven by apps like Facebook and WhatsApp, and the sharing of images and videos.
This project needs content and service partnerships with telecom companies and other firms, with new entrepreneurs.
PILLAR 2. UNIVERSAL ACCESS TO MOBILE CONNECTIVITY This focuses on mobile network penetration, with a plan to fill the gaps in
connectivity in India by 2018.
An intense shortage of spectrum
Digital India needs more spectrum.
PILLAR 3. PUBLIC INTERNET ACCESS PROGRAMME
This aims to increase the number of government-run facilities (Common Service Centres or CSC) that provide digital services to citizens, especially in remote or rural areas with low connectivity.
The objective is to increase the 140,000 facilities to 250,000, or one in nearly every village. It also aims to convert 150,000 post offices into multi-service centres.
PILLAR 4. E-GOVERNANCE: REFORMING GOVERNMENT THROUGH TECHNOLOGY Government Business Process Re-engineering using IT to improve
transaction
Electronic Databases
Workflow automation
Public Grievance Redressal
To be implemented across government - critical for transformation.
PILLAR 5. EKRANTI - ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF SERVICES e-Kranti comprises 41 large e-governance initiatives, called “Mission
Mode Projects".
They span e-education (all schools to get broadband and free wi-fi, as well as MOOCs - Massive Online Open Courses), e-Healthcare and technology for farming, security, financial inclusion, justice, planning and cyber-security.
PILLAR 6. INFORMATION FOR ALL Online Hosting of Information & documents .
Government pro-actively engages through social media and web based platforms to inform citizens.
Online messaging to citizens on special occasions/programs.
Largely utilise existing infrastructure – limited additional resources needed.
Pillar 7. Electronics ManufacturingTARGET NET ZERO IMPORTS BY 2020 Target NET ZERO Imports is a striking demonstration of intent.
The plan includes incentives for big chip fabrication as well for mobile and set-top box manufacturers, and clusters and incubators for start-ups.
India exports nearly $100bn worth of technology and business process services.
PILLAR 8. IT FOR JOBS
This is a project to train 10 million students from smaller towns and villages for IT sector jobs over five years.
The challenge here is not just the numbers, but quality.
Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) locations in every north-eastern state .
Most firms are forced to invest a great deal into their own training for "fresher" recruits.
PILLAR 9. EARLY HARVEST PROGRAMMES These are the low-hanging fruit, and the projects already under way.
The challenge remains usage.
Most experts see this as a huge risk.
