Member nations of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) support the adoption of Indian digital public infrastructure such as Aadhaar, Unified Payments Interface, DigiLocker and CoWin, electronics and information technology minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said.
Key points
- The SCO unanimously adopted India’s proposal for developing Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) as the right way for deploying digital technology among member states.
- India Stack, which details these digital assets, is a “set of open APIs and digital public goods that aim to unlock the economic primitives of identity, data, and payments at population scale.
- Although the name of this project bears the word India, the vision of India Stack is not limited to one country; it can be applied to any nation, be it a developed one or an emerging one.
- The government has previously asserted that several nations have shown an interest in India Stack.
