The effort contributes directly to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by fostering transparency, accessibility, and service efficiency.
DigiLocker, a flagship digital infrastructure under NeGD, has emerged as a trusted and secure platform that ensures interoperability, data privacy, and scalable citizen engagement. It continues to play a central role in providing digital access to verified documents and services.
