Prime Minister Narendra Modi in June said his flagship programme “Digital India” helped citizens by eliminating middlemen and promoted 4Es—Education, Employment, Entrepreneurship and Empowerment.

“We launched Digital India with a very simple focus—to ensure more people can benefit from the joys of technology, especially in rural areas,” he said while interacting via NaMo App with the beneficiaries of Government’s flagship schemes across the country.

To make this possible, the Government worked on a holistic policy consisting of connecting villages through optical fibre, educating citizens digitally, providing service delivery through mobiles and promoting electronics manufacturing. This was his sixth outreach with the beneficiaries of Government schemes through video conferencing.
