number of ideas and thoughts into a single, comprehensive vision so
that each of them can be implemented as part of a larger goal.

larger picture. Digital India is to be implemented by the entire
Government with overall coordination being done by the
Department of Electronics and Information Technology

• Broadband Highways
• Universal Access to Mobile Connectivity
• Public Internet Access Program
• Electronics Manufacturing
• Early Harvest Programs 
• e-Governance – Reforming Government through

Broadband Highways

• This covers three sub components, namely Broadband for All - Rural,
Broadband for All - Urban and National Information Infrastructure
(NII). 
• Broadband for All – Rural
2,50,000 village Panchayats would be covered under the National Optical Fibre Network (NOFN) by
December 2016. Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is the nodal Department for this project.

• Broadband for All - Urban


• Virtual Network Operators would be leveraged for service delivery and communication
infrastructure in new urban developments and buildings would be mandated.
• National Information Infrastructure (NII)

• NII would integrate the network and cloud infrastructure in the country
to provide high speed connectivity and cloud platform to various
government departments up to the panchayat level. These
infrastructure components include networks such as State Wide Area
Network (SWAN), National Knowledge Network (NKN), National Optical
Fibre Network (NOFN), Government User Network (GUN) and the
MeghRaj Cloud. NII aims at integrating all ICT infrastructure
components such as SWANs, NKN, NOFN, GUN and GI Cloud. It will have
provision for horizontal connectivity to 100, 50, 20 and 5 government
offices/ service outlets at state, district, block and Panchayat levels
respectively. DeitY will be the nodal Department for this project.
Universal Access to Mobile Connectivity

This initiative focuses on network penetration and filling the gaps in


connectivity in the country.
• There are around 55,619 villages in the country that do not have mobile
coverage. As part of the comprehensive development plan for North East,
providing mobile coverage to uncovered villages has been initiated. Mobile
coverage to remaining uncovered villages would be provided in a phased
manner.

• The Department of Telecommunications will be the nodal department and


project cost will be around 16,000 Cr during 2014-18.
