national diGital literacy Mission

introductionNational Digital Literacy Mission (NDLM) was launched by the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in

August 2014 to provide basic digital literacy to 10 lakh persons. Subsequently, in December 2014, a new scheme

‘Digital Saksharta Abhiyan’ (DISHA) was approved by the Ministry of Electronics & ITS (MeitY) with a target to

train additional 42.5 lakh persons over a period of four years. Both these schemes were implemented concurrently

by CSC e-Governance Services India Limited, a Special Purpose Vehicle (CSC-SPV) (a public limited company set

up under the Companies Act, 1956). The cumulative target of providing digital literacy to 52.5 lakh duly certified

beneficiaries has been achieved in December 2016, much ahead of the proposed timeline of December 2018.

Following the successful implementation of NDLM/DISHA schemes, the Hon’ble Finance Minister, while presenting

the Union Budget 2016-17, launched a new Digital Literacy mission for rural india. It inter-alia stated:

“We need to derive greater benefit from our demographic advantage. We need to spread digital literacy in rural

India. Of the 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. We now plan to launch a new Digital Literacy Mission Scheme for

rural India to cover around 6 crore additional households within the next three years.

Pradhan Mantri Gramin digital Saksharta abhiyaan (PMGdiSHa) Pradhan Mantri Gramin Digital Saksharta Abhiyaan (PMGDISHA) has been initiated in line with the announcement

made by Hon’ble Finance Minister during the union budget 2016-17 to provide digital literacy specifically in rural

areas. PMGDISHA was approved by the government in February 2017. PMGDISHA would cover 6 crore persons, one

member from every eligible household across all Gram Panchyats in States/UTs, and make them digitally literate.

The objective of the scheme is to empower the citizens in rural areas by training them to operate computer or digital

access devices (like tablets, smart phones etc.), send and receive e-mails, browse Internet, access Government

services, search for information, etc. and hence enable them to use the Information Technology to actively

participate in the process of nation building.

The Scheme aims to bridge the digital divide, specifically targeting the rural population including the marginalised

sections of society like Scheduled Castes (SC) / Scheduled Tribes (ST), Minorities, Below Poverty Line (BPL), women

and differently-abled persons

implementing agency The scheme will be implemented by CSC e-Governance Services India Limited, a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)

incorporated under the Companies Act 1956, (herein after referred to as ‘CSC-SPV’) with active collaboration of all

the State Governments and UT Administrations.

duration The Scheme duration would be till 31st March, 2019.

CSC e-Governance Services India Limited4 |

Target Beneficiaries One person from every eligible rural household would be trained in Digital Literacy relevant to their needs across

all States/ UTs. The target group would be in the age group of 14-60 years. In order to provide better representation

to socially and economically marginalized communities, due preference would be given to SC, ST, BPL, Minorities,

women and differently-abled persons. Priority would be given to non-smartphone users, Antyodaya households,

college drop-outs, participants of the adult literacy mission etc.

Coverage of scheme The scheme is applicable only for rural areas of the country. To ensure even geographical coverage across the

country, a Gram Panchayat centric approach would be adopted with targets being assigned and monitored for each

of the 2.50 lakh Gram Panchayats.

implementation framework MeitY would provide suitable policy support and would monitor the progress of the scheme at the Central level. The

CSC-SPV will work in active collaboration with the State Government/UT Administration for smooth implementation

of the Scheme in their respective State/UT. District e-Governance Society (DeGS) under the District Magistrate/

District Collector would play a key role towards the last mile implementation and monitoring of PMGDISHA Scheme.

The implementation of the Scheme at the ground level would be done through the involvement of Training partners/

Centres including CSCs duly affiliated with the CSC-SPV.

The Scheme will be implemented by using the affiliated Training Partners/Training Centres as was done in NDLM/

DISHA schemes. Efforts would be made to increase the number of training partners to around 2500 and the Training

Centres (including CSCs) to about 2.5 Lakhs spread across the country.
