4. Digitalization drive-A digital literacy scheme to be launched to cover six crore additional rural households

"We need to spread digital literacy in rural India. Of 16.8 crore rural households as many as 12 crore households do not have computers and are unlikely to have digitally literate persons. We have already approved two Schemes to promote digital literacy: National Digital Literacy Mission; and Digital Saksharta Abhiyan (DISHA). We now plan to launch a new Digital Literacy Mission Scheme for rural India to cover around six crore additional households within the next three years. Details of this scheme will be spelt out separately."
