Digital Literacy in India: An Exploration

Abstract

Huge demographic and technological shifts are taking place in India right now. In the next twenty years, this nation is predicted to have the biggest population of working-age people on the planet. The increasing need for work necessitates its adoption of digital literacy. Productivity will rise, and growth will be more evenly distributed. In this research, we look at digital literacy from a global perspective. Furthermore, it highlights the possibilities and threats to digital literacy in India. Major policy measures have been undertaken by the government in recent years to address this situation. The Digital India project is an overarching initiative spearheaded by DeitY with the twin goals of making India a digital country and empowering its inhabitants to be digital citizens. If different parties in India work together, this programme and digital literacy in general have a better chance of succeeding.
