About DRA Awards

In today's digital age, the importance of internet and mobile technologies in our daily lives is undeniable. The increasing number of internet and mobile users in India shows the quick growth of the digital ecosystem. Despite this progress, access to digital technologies is uneven across different regions and demographics.

To address this digital divide and promote inclusive growth, the Digital Responsibility Awards (DRA) have been introduced which aim to recognise organisations that are working to narrow the digital gap in India. Following the principles of the Digital India Programme, the DRA focuses on improving mobile connectivity, electronic service delivery, and universal information accessibility. The DRA also aims to raise awareness about existing digital disparities and encourage a sense of 'digital responsibility' among industry stakeholders. This involves ensuring fair access to digital technology for every citizen of India, promoting sustainable and inclusive digital growth in the long term.

Join us for these awards as we champion a more inclusive and dynamic digital ecosystem for all. Let's collaborate to bridge the digital divide and ensure that digital technologies are accessible and affordable for every citizen in India.
