Subject: Economics

Book: Comprehensive Indian Economy - Additional Topics

Governance digitization fosters transparency, reduces corruption, and speeds up service delivery. Platforms like DigiLocker, Aadhaar-enabled DBT, and UMANG unify citizen-centric services. Challenges: bridging digital literacy, ensuring robust cybersecurity, and standardizing data formats across states. In exam contexts, highlight success in direct benefits (e.g., LPG subsidy) while analyzing data privacy concerns under proposed personal data protection laws. Effective e-governance can also enhance accountability in welfare programs.
