Why Gram Panchayats Lag in Digital India Goals !

Why do India’s Gram Panchayats still struggle to achieve the ambitious goals of Digital India? This Bharat Live debate from Parliament explores the deep-rooted challenges faced by rural governance institutions — from poor digital infrastructure and lack of training to unequal resource distribution across states.

Featuring insights from government officials, digital experts, and policy analysts, the discussion highlights critical initiatives such as the “Samarthya” portal, “Swamitva” program, and digital capacity-building projects under the Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan (RGSA). While the government has pushed for optical fiber connectivity and capacity-building collaborations with institutes like IIM Ahmedabad, the ground reality shows a significant gap in implementation.

This debate underscores the importance of digital empowerment at the grassroots level — because without fully functional Gram Panchayats, India’s digital revolution remains incomplete.
