NEW DELHI: Visitors to the G20 summit will get to see India’s digital innovations, including RBI’s eRupee or Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), Public Tech Platform for Frictionless Credit (PTPFC) to farmers, eSanjeevani for telemedicine, and UPI-enabled cashless kiosks.
Addressing a pre-summit news conference, India’s G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant said the country wants to showcase its digital public infrastructure (DPI) to the delegates as technology can make a difference to a vast section of the population in the Global South. The idea is to take these innovations to countries which need them.
The solutions have been displayed by the IT ministry, RBI and other participants at the international media pavilion as well as the main hall where the world leaders will gather for the G20 conference.
National e-Governance Division (NeGD) CEO Abhishek Singh told TOI that government platforms like Aadhaar are already being considered by eight countries, including the Philippines and Morocco. Even CoWin and e-Sanjeevani solutions are being pitched to many countries, he added.
Rajesh Bansal, CEO of RBI’s Innovation Hub, said the central bank will showcase how it uses the PTFC platform to provide frictionless credit to farmers.
“This aims to cut down the time for giving small-time credit (loans) to farmers from the existing 4-6 weeks to just a few minutes. The platform fetches land records and dairy data of farmers after they authenticate their identity through Aadhaar.”
Kant said, “India has now created a unique model of DPI which is open-source through open APIs.” Rajeev Chandrasekhar, minister of state for IT & electronics, said the government is working towards integrating over 20 new services in the DPI, also known as the India stack. He said even some developed countries are looking to adopt the India stack of services.
