The final 'Report of India's G20 Task Force on Digital Public Infrastructure' by 'India's G20 Task Force on Digital Public Infrastructure for Economic Transformation, Financial Inclusion and Development' was released in New Delhi.
The Task Force was led by the Co-Chairs, Shri Amitabh Kant, G20 Sherpa of India, and Shri Nandan Nilekani, Co-founder and Chairman of Infosys.
The work of this Task Force had led to the acceptance of the definition and framework of the Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) during India's G20 Presidency and will be taken forward for implementation during the Brazilian and South African Presidencies. After a very successful G20 Presidency and upon the culmination of its tenure, the Report of the Task Force is aimed at strengthening the foundations of DPI worldwide.
The Report encompasses three essential parts that collectively unravel the approach for global DPI advancement and adoption. In Part 1, the DPI Approach emerges as a transformative paradigm that effectively addresses global challenges through innovative technological solutions.
Part 2 of the Report delves into how India has steered its DPI agenda, especially during its G20 Presidency in 2023 under its various working groups, including the Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion (GPFI) of Finance Track and Digital Economy Working Group (DEWG) of Sherpa Track. In Part 3 of the Report, a forward-looking perspective is presented, outlining a strategic blueprint for elevating DPI across various sectors, as well as on a global scale through a range of its policy recommendations.
The task force was established in January 2023 to oversee and facilitate achieving India's G20 Presidency agenda and priorities on Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and Financial Inclusion. The Task Force looked at ways G20 member countries can boost productivity by adopting digital technology and DPI across sectors as well as help the government's digital economy policy.
