This book examines the nature, extent and implications of rapid
strides digitalization has made in India since the turn of the
millennium. These have been examined not merely in the sphere of
information and communication technology (ICT) but its multifarious
applications spreading across almost all aspects of production,
services and institutions which have profound repercussions for the
transformation of the society and economy at the micro, meso and
macro levels. With contributions from both ICT scholars and social
scientists, this book presents diverse scenarios and unravels
challenges faced in the process of technical applications, access
by the users of these disruptive technologies (automation,
e-commerce, big data analytics & algorithms, artificial
intelligence, cloud computing, etc.) which, unlike heavy machines
(embodied technology), mostly defy physical space, pace of mobility
and inoperability between technologies. Chapters in this volume
address challenges and possibilities in establishing and operating
intricate engineering infrastructure, technical and societal
constraints encountered in broad-basing digitalization across
layers of educational and social skills conducive to difficult
geographies. Issues dealt within this book include farming,
healthcare, education, food processing, e-commerce, labour, rural
community development, open source data and information democracy.
The chapters also reflect upon implications on local economy and
society, of the very global nature of these seamless technologies
where inter-operability remains the quintessential advantage of
digitalization whether promoted or spearheaded through the state,
private sector or global capital. The book critiques policy
inadequacies and suggests plausible policy approaches to reduce the
adverse impacts of fast digitalization and broad-base potential
benefits across space and levels of socio-economic development of
regions and society. This book would be of interest to scholars,
practitioners, technocrats, industry analysts, policy makers and
civil society agencies.
