The story of India’s digital revolution
Context:
India has made several efforts to pioneering role in Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and its transformative impact on governance, technology, and society.
Introduction to Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI)
- DPI- a Transformative Concept: DPI is characterized by open, transparent, and participatory governance, fostering innovation, inclusion, and competition at scale.
- India's Journey with Technology: It evolved into infrastructure projects, Mission Mode Projects (MMPs), and the development of Aadhaar, which played a pivotal role in identity verification and service delivery.
- Key Lessons from Aadhaar: The development of Aadhaar taught essential lessons in minimalism, privacy, security, and open APIs, laying the foundation for India's DPI philosophy.
Integral Layers of DPI
- Three Integral Layers of DPI: DPI comprises three integral layers: Market, governance, and technology standards. The market layer involves innovative players, while governance requires legal frameworks and public programs. Technology standards, particularly for identity, payments, and data sharing, enable interoperability.
- Balancing Public and Private: DPI strikes a balance between all-government and all-private approaches by creating open protocols and shared platforms.
- Pricing and Professional Management: Publicly funded DPI services should ideally remain free, reducing costs and benefiting the public.
Security and Scalability of DPI
- Security Considerations: Security is a crucial aspect of DPIs, requiring secure pipelines and certification of end-user applications. Examples like Aadhaar and CoWin demonstrate successful security models for DPI services.
- Advantages of DPI: Scalability is a built-in feature, minimizing private innovators' investment.
- Successful DPIs in India: Others like Unified Health Interface (UHI), Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), and Open Network for Digital Commerce are in the rollout stage, with potential for more in the future.
