Abstract

Digital India is a flagship initiative launched by the Government of India in 2015, with the aim of transforming the country into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. The program seeks to bridge the digital divide between urban and rural areas by improving digital infrastructure, increasing internet penetration, promoting digital literacy, and enhancing access to e-governance services. Through this study, the impact of Digital India on economic growth in the twin districts of Doda and Kishtwar is evaluated. The research combines both qualitative and quantitative methods, utilizing regression analysis to assess the influence of digital adoption on economic performance. The findings highlight that while significant progress has been made in terms of internet penetration and digital service delivery, there are still substantial challenges in the rural areas of Jammu and Kashmir. Infrastructure limitations, low digital literacy, and socio-economic barriers have slowed down the full potential of Digital India, especially in remote and underdeveloped regions. The paper also provides recommendations to improve digital adoption and bridge the digital divide in rural areas, making a case for stronger government intervention and public-private partnerships.
