New Delhi, February 21

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said the digital divide is rapidly shrinking in India and innovation is ensuring inclusion for Indians.

“Measures such as e-Vidya, One Class One Channel, digital labs and digital universities are creating an educational infrastructure which will go a long way in helping the youth,” he said while addressing a webinar on the positive impact of the Union Budget 2022-23 on education and skill sectors.

“This is an attempt to provide better education solutions to villages, the poor, Dalits, backward classes and tribal people in the country’s socio-economic set-up,” said Modi.

He asserted that the 2022-23 Budget would be of great help in implementing the National Education Policy (NEP) on the ground.

About the government’s announcement in the Budget that a digital university would be established, Modi said, “The digital university can eliminate the problem of shortage of seats that we experience in our country.”
