India chapter of Internet Governance Forum launched, to host 3-day session

Starting August 2021, multiple Pre-IIGF engagement events will be held at several colleges and universities, as a precursor to the IIGF Inaugural event beginning Oct 20

With the theme "Inclusive Internet for Digital India," the India chapter of the United Nations-based forum Internet Governance Forum will host a three-day session, beginning October 20, to discuss public policy issues related to the Internet.

The India Internet Governance Forum (IIGF) was launched on Monday as a policy discussion platform to bring representatives together from various groups to discuss public policy issues related to the Internet. This mode of engagement is referred to as the multi-stakeholder model of Internet Governance, which has been the key feature for the Internet’s success.  

The multi-stakeholder concept is well adopted by IGF (Internet Governance Forum)
