Government policies have to play an important role in developing the digital infrastructure so that there is equity in accessing education across India. First, high-speed internet connectivity must be taken to the rural and remote areas of the country. Policies like BharatNet can make this digital divide irrelevant by giving cheap and dependable internet access to the students. Second, the government can subsidize digital devices like tablets and laptops for students from economically weaker sections of society so that they are all equipped with the tools required for online learning.

Digital literacy programs must be initiated so that students and teachers can use the available digital resources effectively. Another policy direction is the development and distribution of quality digital education content, with consideration for multilingualism in order to accommodate the needs of linguistically heterogeneous demographics. Public-Private Partnerships can be encouraged, drawing on private sector expertise and resources to augment the quality and reach of digital education.

The regulatory frameworks will have to be formulated so that data privacy and security are protected, thereby safeguarding children in this safe online learning environment. A holistic approach, including the building of infrastructure, the availability of resources, enhancement of skills, and regulatory measures—all these are interventions that government policies will play an important role in implementing toward creating digital education for all and achieving equity across India.
