Government focuses on digital public infrastructure for rural development

The Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said today that the government is investing in Digital Public Infrastructure to facilitate digital transactions. This initiative aims to ensure that funds reach the beneficiaries directly, enabling economic activities at the grassroots level and strengthening the rural economy.
