Inclusion in technology access must be prioritised: MeitY secy S Krishnan

Ensuring greater inclusion in technology access is critical in today’s digital age, MeitY Secretary S Krishnan said on Friday, highlighting the growing concerns of exclusionary barriers such as language, regionality, age, and education, which hinder universal access to technology. Krishnan, speaking on the occasion of Universal Acceptance Day 2025, said technology access is often taken for granted, and there are critical blocks in the path for democratising technology with impact from exclusionary barriers such as language, regionality, age, and education.
