DPI to dominate public service delivery in next two years: MoS IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar
India’s digital public infrastructure (DPI), minister of state for electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said in the national capital on Thursday.
“Effectively, almost all of the government, and the G2C — government to citizen — interface will be digital over the next two years,” Chandrasekhar said.
There has never been a more exciting time for India’s place in tech, the minister said, citing the success of the Chandrayaan-3 moon landing on August 23, which made India the first country to land near the south pole of the moon. It showed India’s capability in executing complex, deep-tech missions with global-standard aptitude and skill, Chandrasekhar said, and this indicates India’s “techade” and the digital economy forming 20-25% of the GDP is a realisable goal.
India has an opportunity to become a trusted long-term partner in supply chains, IP and talent, he added.
