With this objective, the e-governance was launched in the country, he added.

He said Narendra Modi is targeting that everyone including the old and the young should have atleast the basic internet knowledge so that everyone can easy access the schemes like zero balance account and those availed under the Mudra Bank facilities.

He said the Digital India Mission targets to provide internet facility to every Gram panchayat and inter-connection among the more than 2 lakh gram panchayats of India.
