ALASAN PEMERINTAH INDIA DALAM MEMPERCEPAT DIGITALISASI MELALUI VISI "VIKSIT BHARAT 2047"

This thesis analyzes the rationale for the Indian Government's strategy to accelerate digitalization through the "Viksit Bharat 2047" vision. The research focuses on the role of digital policy as an instrument for economic, socio-political development, and strengthening public services to realize a developed and sustainable India. The research method used is a qualitative explanatory method with literature analysis from journals, books, theses, official government reports, and online media. This study uses the New Growth Theory, which emphasizes innovation, knowledge, and technology as the main drivers of long-term growth. The results show that the acceleration of digitalization in India is driven by three main factors. First, economic factors, where digitalization is seen as a strategy to strengthen economic growth and competitiveness. Second, socio-political factors, namely the government's efforts to overcome the digital divide and increase public literacy. Third, the factor of strengthening public services, where the government focuses on creating a more inclusive, transparent, and efficient service system. In addition, this study also found that geopolitical factors and technological security are factors in the new strategy that includes India's desire to achieve technological independence and strengthen cybersecurity. Thus, digitalization through “Viksit Bharat 2047” is not only a national development strategy, but also an instrument in strengthening India's position at the global level.
