World Bank, IT ministry to come up with state-level DPI adoption index

The World Bank, along with the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (Meity), is working on developing a state-level Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) adoption index that will help boost the digital economy and support financial inclusion.

In response to Business Standard’s queries, the World Bank said the project was under preparation.

“The state-level DPI index will help analyse gaps to strengthen the digital economy, support financial inclusion, and increase public-private innovation,” it said. The bank has invited applications from consulting firms to participate in the initiative.
