DigiLocker or also known as Digital Locker India is one step ahead to the future of digital India project. This service was launched by PM Narendra Modi in February 2015 to provide a secure online storage for Indian citizens for storing their documents.
This program is introduced to minimize the use of physical documents and allow sharing of e-documents across organizations in future. The sharing of the e-documents will be done through authorized databases thereby guaranteeing the credibility of the records on the Internet. Here you can store your documents like, your certificates, voter card, aadhaar card, driving license, etc.
As a Indian, you should use this service to help the dream of digitize India by our respectable prime minister. Here I have discussed some points related to Digital Locker India which you should know.
