As per
the global internet report, India stands at a 139th position in case
of its internet penetration while
it stands as one of the countries having largest language diversity in the
world. This gives a clear picture
that India should look for digitalisation in line with the language diversity
to increase the penetration. Internet penetration in Iceland which is on1st position, UAE on 12th,
USA on 18th, Germany on 19th where the language diversity
is comparatively very low. In case of
affordability of mobile broadband percentage, India is on the 101st position
with 12.39% of average GDP per capita is required for mobile broadband access
which is further expected to be corrected with the reforms and competition in
the telecom industry.
Further Dr. Ajay Data says, “With
220mn users, India is now world’s second-biggest smartphone market which is
further expected to grow very fast. Now with the connectivity of internet,
Indian population has become digitally equipped but there are other factors
that require to be taken into the consideration for achieving greater
digital and mobile connectivity. The issue of language is extremely critical,
which remains largely unaddressed and therefore DATAMAIL can break this clutter
and lead the Digital India dream.”
Digital India without touching 89% of
population has no mean and Government and Private sectors should work together
to avail the user-friendly digital technology to the Semi-Urban and Rural India
for fulfilling PM’s vision of Digital India.
