Digital India: Navigating Sustainable Development Goals is a comprehensive edited volume exploring India’s transformative digital journey in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This resource-rich book caters to academics, researchers, policymakers, practitioners, students and global stakeholders.

The book serves as a valuable resource for gaining insights into the practical implications of Digital India initiatives and their role in achieving SDGs. 

India, as a signatory to the SDGs, has embarked on the Digital India initiative, positioning digital infrastructure, services, and empowerment at its core. Leveraging Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D), including mobile, social media, Cloud, and data analytics, Digital India is shaping citizen-centric, business-centric, and government-centric services through mission-mode projects. The edited book outlines how this digital transformation becomes a force multiplier, reaching unreached populations, simplifying processes, and making technology more accessible.

Technological advancements like artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), and cognitive analytics are pivotal in effective provision and access to education, health, livelihoods, and disaster resilience. The edited volume underscores the role of these innovations in accelerating growth towards the SDGs, including peace, justice, and security through a cyber-secure infrastructure. Digital India fosters inclusive growth by bringing e-governance to the grassroots, involving citizens, service providers, and governance institutions. The three-pronged strategy of analyzing, advocating, and acting, outlined in the book, aligns Digital India with sustainable development policy and showcases how India’s commitment to the SDGs is channeled through this initiative, promoting innovation and inclusive growth.
