Abstract

Digital technologies are no more a choice but an un-escapable reality of modern society. They have the potential to bring revolutionary improvement in the processes and management of social, political and economic affairs. The ‘Digital India’ programme, launched by the Union Government in 2015 intends to transform India into digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. The e-governance or the use of information technology in the government processes brings speed in operations, enhances storage capacity of documents, improves delivery of government services and ensures transparency and accountability in the administration. E-services provide better delivery of government services to citizens. The ICT happens to be an effective tool of citizen empowerment. In fact, e-governance is a catalytic component of good governance. However, the successful and effective implementation of digital India and e-governance projects in India is faced with many challenges like digital illiteracy, issue of digital divide, lack of adequate funds and infrastructure facilities, problem of cyber security and privacy, and problem of disposal and management of e-waste. Thus, digitalization of India needs careful planning and analysis to address impending challenges and full realization of its potential. 

Keywords: Digital Empowerment; Digital Divide; Cyber Security; E-Governanc; Digital India; E-Waste Management.
