Digitalization has emerged as a modern-day catalyst in integrating society to the growth bandwagon. With India's geographical vastness and volume of outreach, the implementation of 'Digital India' initiative has effectively connected the remotest of the regions through the electronic service delivery system (e-governance) resulting in accountability, and transparency for every citizen across various sectors.
Education is the first early investment for child development, playing a pivotal role in the life of an individual, thereby becoming a building-block of one's personality.
