3. Introduction to
Digital India
Digital India is a programmeto transform India into digital
empowered society and knowledge economy. The Digital India is
transformational in nature and would ensure that Government
services are available to citizens electronically. It would also
bring in public accountability through mandated delivery of
government’s services electronically, a Unique ID and e-
Pramaanbased on authentic and standard based interoperable
and integrated government applications and data basis.
Digital India programmewas launched on 1st July, 2015
to enable digital delivery of services to citizens. Based on the
success of the programme, the Union Cabinet during August
2023 approved the expansion of the Digital India programme.
The total outlay is ₹14,903 crores.

4. E-governance initiatives
•The Digital India program aims to transform
India into a digitally empowered society and
knowledge economy.
•Key e-governance initiatives include the
National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) and
MyGov.in portal for citizen engagement.
•These initiatives leverage technology to
improve public service delivery, increase
transparency, and drive citizen participation.

5. Aadhaar -Unique Identification System
Aadhaar is India's unique digital identity system, providing a
12-digit unique identification number to all residents. It serves
as the foundation for e-governance initiatives, enabling secure,
convenient access to government services and benefits.
The Aadhaar card provides a single source of identity
verification, using biometric data like fingerprints and iris
scans to authenticate individuals. This helps streamline service
delivery and minimize fraud across a wide range of digital
applications

12. VIEWS ON BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
What is blockchain?
Blockchainis a shared, immutable ledger that facilitates the
process of recording transactions and tracking assets in a
business network.
Anassetcan be tangible (a house, car, cash, land) or
intangible (intellectual property, patents, copyrights,
branding). Virtually anything of value can be tracked and
traded on a blockchain network, reducing risk and cutting
costs for all involved
Why is blockchain important?
Business runs on information. The faster information is
received and the more accurate it is, the better.
Blockchain is ideal for delivering that information
because it provides immediate, shared, and observable
information that is stored on an immutable ledger that
only permissioned network members can access. A
blockchain network can track orders, payments,
accounts, production and much more. And because
members share a single view of the truth, you can see all
details of a transaction end to end, giving you greater
confidence, and new efficiencies and opportunities.
Key elements of a blockchain
Distributed ledger technology
All network participants have access to the
distributed ledger and its immutable record
of transactions. With this shared ledger,
transactions are recorded only once,
eliminating the duplication of effort that’s
typical of traditional business networks.
Immutable records
No participant can change or tamper with a
transaction after it’s been recorded to the
shared ledger. If a transaction
recordincludesan error, a new transaction
must be added to reverse the error, and both
transactions are then visible.

13. How blockchain works
As each transaction occurs, it is recorded as a
“block” of data
Those transactions show the movement of an
asset that can be tangible (a product) or
intangible (intellectual). The data block can
record the information of your choice: who,
what, when, where, how much. It can even
record the condition, such as the temperature
of a food shipment.
Each block is connected to the ones before
and after it
These blocks form a chain of data as an asset
moves from place to place or ownership
changes hands. The blocks confirm the exact
time and sequence of transactions, and the
blocks link securely together to prevent any
block from being altered or a block being
inserted between two existing blocks.
Transactions are blocked together in an irreversible
chain: a blockchain
Each additional block strengthens the verification of the
previous block and hence the entire blockchain. Rendering
the blockchain tamper-evident, delivering the key strength
of immutability. Removing the possibility of tampering by
a malicious actor, and builds a ledger of transactions you
and other network members can trust.
