Knowledge Society and Digital India Program as a Venture to Demolish the Wall of Digital Divide

Abstract

The article focuses on how the concept of ‘knowledge society’ came and what does the term mean. It is evident that a rapid and conspicuous change in the societal process has been identified day by day. We, now in the 21st century, are facing a great and abrupt transition globally. Through the different phases of evolution, the world (especially, developed countries), is entering knowledge society. India being a developing country is yet to walk further to be flourished instead of having its own assets. But, India’s recent initiative, Digital India program, is a significant effort to formulate balanced Knowledge economy. It would become a knowledge society if all the pillars of the DI program can be erected.
