The government made Digital India the key apparatus in keeping its citizens, empowered, secure, healthy and taking the country's economy forward.

Amid all our focus and efforts in staying safe, what we perhaps missed celebrating is an important landmark -- 1 July 2020. It was the fifth anniversary of the Government of India's commencement of the 'Digital India' campaign. What we did, however, is far more significant, colossal and emphatic. The government made Digital India the key apparatus in keeping its citizens, empowered, secure, healthy and taking the country's economy forward. The country's central bank, the Reserve Bank of India, estimates that by 2025, payments through digital platforms will jump to 1.5 billion transactions, or ₹15 trillion a day. The daily transaction averaged about 125 million before March 2020, much of it powered by the government's famed United Payment Interface, or UPI. To track citizens' health and monitor the spread of the pandemic, the government launched the Aarogya Setu, having a download hit of more than 127 million times, a testimony of how Digital is transforming India rapidly.

Putting IT behind e-Governance push

From the governance's standpoint, Information Technology in contemporary India has played a revolutionary role in positioning the country as one of the top nations making the most advancements digitally in recent times. Most importantly, digital transformation has widened India's possibility of innovation in every aspect of its economic engine and even optimization of resources, currently being pursued across sectors ranging from e-Education, manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, retail, financial services, banking, national defense, and security to public utilities.

Overall, data, technology and governance are coming together as a force to accelerate social change and address the criticality of harnessing the data generated through various e-governance initiatives to optimize decision making.

Take, for example, the collaboration between Hitachi Systems Micro Clinic Pvt. Ltd., a Hitachi Group Company, and State Bank of India (SBI), the country's largest public-sector lender. *The underlying philosophy between Hitachi and SBI has always been bringing 'people-centric innovations' by putting the customer at the core of their business strategy. Hitachi Systems Micro Clinic accelerated technology-driven digital banking initiatives for SBI by leveraging private cloud technology "Meghdoot" and developing a data lake concept. With the adoption of a cloud-first strategy, Hitachi enabled centralized* server security solution for SBI's virtual servers and secured the web gateway.
