Spotlight

See, ever since Prime Minister Modi came into power in India his primary focus has been to create digital infrastructure in India and the very first year digital India campaign was launched where the prime objective was to digitise every possible government service, digitalize every single record keeping system we could. Today a time has come where even the file movement among government departments, approval, tenders, purchase everything has also moved on online, so the idea was to create Global digital infrastructure in India which could show that India does not miss the fourth Industrial Revolution which will come in the form of Information Technology. Now at the same time there was you know complete focus on three issues. One, the fruits of the Digital Revolution which India was embarking upon should be enjoyed by the people who are standing at the last section of our society, the poor people, farmers, people who are staying in tier four tier five cities, villages they should also get the benefit of the investment India was making in the digital infrastructure so that focus was there and that is the reason every possible Public Service of the government right from applying for certificates to you know opening bank accounts, applying for government subsidies everything was you know put in an online transparent mechanism. The idea was to ensure that you know this Digital Revolution should benefit the society as a whole, should uplift the society as a whole and this has been only possible because government invested in three pillars, one, jandhan accounts where I think one of the biggest largest financial inclusion theme of the modern history was put into a motion in the largest democracy in the world. We had opened almost 49 crore jandhan accounts in last five years which means getting 49 crore people first time from getting into the organized financial sector in a country and this helped them get a subsidized government loans, get subsidies they were saved from the clutches of this jamidars and these gold lenders who were reaping obnoxious rates and then even farmers are committing suicide because they were not able to repay loans.
