As we all aware about the fact that we left many thing undone which  ought to be done for sucessfull implemention for digital india theory in practical . just changing profile picture will not help , we need ideas to make it happen. just lip service and awareness campaigns are not going to help, we have to create the ecosystem that we are boasting about and show results.

A topic on forum should be something on which people should be able to respond. It is not clear what reaction you want from people. You may considering rewording you post to clearly state what exactly you expect people to reply on this.

‘Digital India’ is nothing more than a mirage of a reality for which not enough is being done. It is similar to the rhetoric of ‘Swatch Bharat Abiyan’, where we collect garbage from place ‘A’ and deposit it at place ‘B’, without creating requisite disposal facilities.

LOL! Ankit Fadia is the brand ambassador. He should be invited for BNLF so that people will learn how to pull a fast one and get away with it. Once a charlatan, always a charlatan.

As you have yourself pointed out, it's just a mirage. Mr. Modi and his team didn't have anything better to do post the collapse of the black money jumla, so they decided to create something new and plan to ride it for the next 4 years in an attempt to try to hold on to the PM's chair in 2019 as well.

It's a farce when they say something, do something else and preach a different thing altogether. Governance has now taken to twitter. Political parties now fight over twitter, the great Mr. Modi goes on international podiums to target the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty and secularism and daamaad, when the audience there don't even have the least of knowledge what he is talking about. He goes to the US, ties up with Mark Zuckerberg to provide internet in far flung areas of the country. He goes to Google and sells them 500 railway stations to provide wifi internet at. He just forgets to acknowledge that the far flung areas he just sold out to Facebook, to allow them to silently establish internet.org, (when his government, in tune with the public sentiments boasts of supporting net neutrality), don't even have the basic necessacities people should have got after almost 70 years of independence. The bare minimums like the roads, proper railways, healthcare facilities, electricity, education are missing, and we talk about connecting the hordes of people with internet? He just forgets that out of the 500 railway stations he has presented Google to provide WiFi internet rarely see a single train on time, the very basic thing why railway stations exist.

Shouldn't he take a look at how many people have access to electricity, even for a couple of hours every day, and safe and potable drinking water and basic healthcare facilities round the clock, should they need it? If someone doesn't have access to even a proper electricity connection, what will they achieve by trying to connect them with internet? How will Mehtar and Mushtaq use internet to try and learn how to build the windmill over the internet using internet.org when they don't even have a proper electricity connection, or leave it aside, if they don't even have the basic elementary education?

Leave everything else aside, if the government can't save its own websites against hacking attacks, since the people resposible for the job even get their personal emails checked by their secretaries, what is the guarantee that if someone goes online, he/she will be safe from all the dangers over the internet. Oh, and how would the autonomous body under Department of Telecom, GOI, will justify publishing million plus email ID's out in the open for everyone to access, and send spam mails on? If the body that is responsible for drafting telecom policies is so irresponsible about their conduct, how should we have faith in the goverment? More importantly, the latest submission by the government that no Indian citizen has a constitutional RIGHT TO PRIVACY, which means the government or a non governmental organisation can publish all your information without even seeking your approval first.

What I feel is that this Digital India Campaign, just like the Swachch Bharat Campaign, and the Black Money thingy, is another jumla, which will burst sooner or later, leaving all its supporters high and dry.
