What is EGDI?
The widespread outreach of new communication technologies and the internet is compelling governments all over the world to build digital infrastructure and provide online access to public services. The EGDI is a composite indicator that consists of three indices namely the online service index (OSI), telecommunication infrastructure index (TII), and human capital index (HCI). The assessment is a relative measure of the e-governance performance of countries, rather than an absolute measure. Higher-income countries usually have a higher EGDI value as compared to lower-income countries.
India and e-governance
According to the United Nations,despite being in the lower-income group, India is one of the countries with a fairly high level of human capital development (HCI) and online services provision (OSI). However, it is held back in terms of lower levels of infrastructure development (TII). The Indian government’s Digital campaign and its consequent products such as the UMANG e-governance platform, Accessible India campaign, AgriMarket app, MyGov platform, and many more are aiming to bridge the digital divide amongst the Indian population.
