KEY POINTS

·        Digital transformation is now changing the landscape for development.

·        In the manufacturing sector, the formal and organised sector has begun to make the transition out of urban areas and towards rural locations.

·        Looking across spatial locations, the organised sector is increasingly locating along major infrastructure transport corridors.

·        We can collect some basic measures like the share of villages with telecommunications equipment, and calculate local penetration of the internet and other modern communications.

·        The policy challenge is to connect the manufacturing and services trends together with technology and spatial development.

·        Private sector participation in infrastructure projects has collapsed recently, with investment dropping by more than 50% in 2019.

·        India has the advantage of demographic dividend and a youth bulge, while the working age population in advanced countries is declining.

·        In addition, India alone produced more than 70% of the world’s science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) graduates between 2016 and 2018.

·        India can easily expand its role in the growing global market for digital information-technology services, such as big data and the Internet of Things.
