Abstract: Digital technology is transforming the landscape of education in India. The government has introduced several initiatives, including DIKSHA, SWAYAM, and PM eVidya, to make education more accessible, inclusive, and flexible. These platforms have not only benefited school-going children but also teachers, parents, and the wider adult population who seek lifelong learning opportunities. Political leaders from past and present have repeatedly highlighted the role of technology in shaping a self-reliant India, while today’s parents are increasingly supportive of digital learning for their children. At the same time, challenges such as unequal access, affordability of devices, lack of digital literacy, and the risk of exposure to harmful online content remain serious concerns. This paper examines India’s digital transformation in education by exploring government initiatives, political emphasis, parental involvement, adult education, opportunities, and challenges. It argues that digital education is a critical tool for achieving Atmanirbhar Bharat, but only if infrastructural and social barriers are addressed with effective policies and collaborative efforts.
Keywords: Digital technology, Digital Transformation, DIKSHA, SWAYAM, PM eVidya.
