 "digital india, app, govt app")
It’s raining mobile applications from various ministries and agencies, apparently to give a big push to the Narendra Modi government’s flagship Digital India programme. The problem is many of the over 2,000 apps are either redundant or overlapping, failing to find many takers.
Digital India aims to transform the country into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy.
It costs anywhere between Rs 5,000 and Rs 100,000 to develop an app.
While companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Alibaba and Paytm are transforming their mobile apps into a one-stop shop, the government’s app initiative seems to be going in the opposite direction.
