DPIs form the cornerstone to shape India’s “techade”

Government agencies are increasingly looking for ways to improve responsiveness, efficiency, and productivity to meet rising public expectations. To that effect, a strong digital public infrastructure (DPI) is a prerequisite to accelerate economic growth, foster inclusion, improve public services, and enable private sector innovation by creating open, interoperable digital systems. Some of the well-known initiatives, like Aadhaar digital identity programme, Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) for e-commerce, the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) for digital payments, among others, are playing a crucial role in transforming infrastructure, governance, and public services.
