Chapter Chapter 1 in The Digitalization Conundrum in India, 2020, pp 1-9 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This is the introductory chapter. Given the complexities of the nature of interface between the new technology and the socio-economics of India, the present volume draws upon interdisciplinary scholarship and diverse professional pursuits; contributors and editors belong to computer and information sciences and also social sciences, management and development studies. By presenting a set of studies largely dealing with the issues and concerns of digitalization in India, this volume is an attempt towards appreciating the policy challenges at the ground level. While technological applications may have opened up possibilities their actual access by users could be dependent on the institutional framework within these functions. Moreover, there exist aberrations within the socio-economic context which could act as potential barriers to obtain the benefits of a transformative technological advancement.
