Knowledge and
technology shall not be limited to one, it must reach out to the farthest and
darkest corners of this world, to ignite awareness and enlighten thousands of
potential minds, waiting to be rescued.
What is Digital India Initiative
India is evolving! The motto has changed from Educate Everyone to Technically Educate Everyone.
Digital India is an ambitious program initiated by Government of India as vision and dream of Hon'able Prime Minister Shri Narendra Damodardas Modi. The project's value is 1,13,000 crores, under which, the idea is to prepare India (rural and urban) for technical skill and knowledge development. Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) is handling this program and the core idea is to establish the concept of e-governance in India, which can only be possible, if citizens are technically literate and comfortable in accessing the digital modes of communication and system functioning.

Why Every Indian Needs Digitization and Technical Knowledge
Indians have a hint of technology in their genes, of course.
But, as we move beyond geographical boundaries, the idea of global collaboration to make this world tech literate comes in. India again, as a country is listed on the top in the series of potential hubs for technical evolution.
If there is a passage, through which the world can reach to the TOMORROW OF TECHNOLOGY, India is one of the CONCRETE and UNAVOIDABLE milestones in that journey.
It has been proved over the period of time/several times that when one Indian is taught technology the right way, he has made a great difference on the world stage. The below mentioned people are a few to be discussed in this line. The actual tech military is yet to be formed.

There are many in
present and more to come in the future because India is an ambitious country,
where education has become a ritual for lifetime and technology is rapidly,
turning out to be an EXTENSION TO PHYSICAL CAPABILITIES OF EVERY INDIAN.
Technology is now in
genes of Indians. New born babies are comfortable with smartphones, tablets
and they can handle the touch panel better because they are automatically
designed this way. Therefore, the rural India also is warmed up to catch up the
growth pace in learning new dimensions
of technology.
Only visionaries from the tech fraternity can understand
this and therefore, a very few like Intel are pioneering to take giant leaps
towards creating a digitalized India through their programs- ‘Digital Skills for India’ and ‘Innovate for India’ initiatives.
In the Month of December 2014, Intel had launched its Digital program for India named ‘Digital Skills for India’ under which the goal is set to support the Ambitious program-Digital India by Indian Goverment and help 5 million people across the country to develop digital skills. Along with this, the Intel in its #DigitalIndia initiative the US based computer chip maker has also partnered with Bharat Broadband Network Limited (BBNL) in order to establish capacity by communicating the key resource persons of 1000 Panchayats under National Optic Fiber Network roll-out in India about digital literacy and reach out more number of people from rural India.
During that time, Intel had promised to launch Innovate for India’which is now active and functioning to make technology and innovation accessible for a wider number of people.
