New Delhi: The Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) has chalked out a 1,000-day agenda, aiming to make India a $1 trillion digital economy over the next few years.

This comes amid a change of guard, with Ashwini Vaishnaw taking over as Union minister for electronics and IT, along with Rajeev Chandrasekhar as minister of state.

Key to the initiative will be making India the largest connected nation in the world, bringing coherence into digital governance, simplifying rules and legislations for technology and social media companies, and focusing on building India’s high-tech prowess.
