Digital India mission is a program launched by the Indian government in July 2015. The aim of this mission is to enable the citizen be digitally empowered.
Three visions of digital India.
Infrastructure as a utility to every citizen:

Mobile and Bank linking for easy access of banking services.
Cloud storage for every citizen like Digilocker.
Safe access to cybersecurity space.
Governance and service on demand
Government services should be seamlessly integrated together and be available to citizens on demand. For example, in case of cash booking it is booked now with a simple phone call or a mobile app now. This facility is linked with the finance department for subsidy, UIDAI for the verification and the gas utility companies for the supply.
Service availability should be on demand online or from the mobile application for over a phone call.
