Law and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad spoke about the “irreversible rise of India” and the role of Aadhaar in achieving this goal at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit.

While many of the questions addressed to Prasad focused on law and the elections, the Minister did have an opportunity to speak on Digital India and Aadhaar.

At the summit, Prasad extolled the virtues of the various government initiated programs like ‘Make in India’ and ‘Digital India’, calling them technology-based programs designed to empower Indians and India.

One of the most important factors to consider, says Prasad, is the fact that Digital India is about digital inclusion. The various government schemes and plans under the Digital India banner are designed to help the poor and under-privileged gain access to the best that the digital world has to offer. The purpose, says Prasad, is to bring low cost and inclusive technology to everyone.
