We are also working to ensure that all layers of digital access are appropriately secured, including the content, transport and device layers.

India is working towards putting in place a comprehensive data protection framework.

A sound and comprehensive cyber security policy along with the sectoral CERTs are the key building blocks of India's cyber security infrastructure.

Every nation faces cyber security challenges. Countries like India, where digitization growth has been exponential, the magnitude and complexity of these challenges become multi-fold. For example 300 million Indians adopted digital payments in just 6 months.

We are also working on a mass digital literacy programme so that people at the bottom of the pyramid can not merely have access to technology but also will be able to negotiate technology in their local language.

We are into the 4th year of Digital India initiative, in this period we have tripled our telecom infrastructure, we are spending 9 billion in providing optic fibre in rural areas.

The first of the 3 pillars on which our digital strategy is premised is access & inclusion, second is to give a digital identity to everyone, thirdly to deliver next generation goods & services to all our citizens.

#WSIS forum is central to the growth of all of us in the Digital sphere. @WSISprocess
