Summary:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that during the last 11 years, the government has efficiently leveraged technology to offer benefits, improve service delivery, ensure transparency, and empower the poorest individuals. The Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system has distributed over Rs. 44,00,000 crore (US$ 514.50 billion) directly to beneficiaries across 322 schemes across 56 ministries, saving over Rs. 3,48,000 crore (US$ 40.69 billion) by eliminating leakages.

India's tele-density increased from 75% in 2014 to 85% by 2025, thanks to 94 crore broadband and 120 crore telephone connections. The Digital India program, which includes UPI, CoWIN, Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, and e-marketplaces, has converted governance into a transparent and accessible system. India, known for its low mobile data rates, is a driving force towards digital inclusion. The launch of 393 foreign satellites by ISRO, as well as real-time payments in remote places, highlight India's growth to the status of global technology leader.
