Digital India Week 2022

The Digital India Programme was launched on July 1, 2015 by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India with a vision to transform the country into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. India’s story of digital transformation is a story of Digital Innovation, Implementation and Inclusion. India has pioneered innovative digital projects, implemented transformational projects at populations scale, and the benefits of various services and initiatives have percolated to the common man living in the rural hinterland, ensuring digital inclusion. The positive impact of this tremendous journey is being felt in all aspects, in the lives of Indian citizens, which is ensuring digital access, digital delivery of services and digital inclusion of all, based on technology that is sustainable, affordable and transformative.

Today India boasts of the world’s 3rd highest number of Startups with new unicorns sprouting almost every week. During the pandemic, Digital India has played a significant role in the nation’s resilient response. Digital technologies have enabled the Government to reach the remote parts of the country at the click of a button. Post the pandemic, India has emerged as the preeminent nation in the use of technology for a resilient economy and governance.

Digital India: Building India’s Techade

To celebrate the unprecedented digital transformation of India, a Digital India Week is being proposed from July 12-15, 2022 at the Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.

Summarization & Closing of Physical Event – By Shri Abhishek Singh, President & CEO, NeGD, MeitY

India Stack Knowledge Exchange

Given the fact that India is getting the Presidency of G20 in December 2022, and that the country would be hosting the G20 Summit in 2023, one of the initiatives that could be shared globally is India’s leadership in Digital Technologies and its experience in implementing Digital Transformation projects at population scale. In addition, there have been continuous requests received on India’s contribution to the Global Digital Public Goods repository. The lessons from India Stack are there for the world to adopt. The DIW 2022, therefore, has included a three days’ long orientation programme – “India Stack Knowledge Exchange: Showcasing India Stack and India’s Digital Products & Services”, scheduled on July 07 – 09, 2022.

This is a virtual event with the intent of bringing together practitioners and Digital Transformation leaders to share their experiences of implementing pioneering projects, which have percolated to the Indian citizens across the urban and rural landscapes of the country. This platform, in turn, would help in the formation of a India Stack Knowledge Exchange, which would serve as a collaborative platform and mechanism for replication of some of the digital initiatives.
