Abstract

In 2014, Government of India took an initiative to achieve Inclusive growth in India and to transform India by 2018 into a country with good digital space for holistic development”. India has 1.38 billion people which is leading in highest population country in the world. The IAMAI Kantar ICUBE 2020 Report predicts that by 2025, the number of active internet users is estimated to be 900 million which is an increase of 622 million in 2020, representing an increase of almost 45% over the next five years. The National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) 2020–2021 revealed that in January 2022, there are 626 million people are using internet in India. At the beginning of 2022, 47.0% of Indians were online. Approximately one-third of Indian women use the internet, according to NFHS-5 data. A 2022 analysis by the Asian Development Bank and social networking platform LinkedIn states that there is a disparity that exists in which women were denied of possibilities at employment where digital skills are in great demand. Tamilnadu has 46.9% female internet users and 70.2% male internet users. Hence, there is an urgent need to recognize the review the existing situation of women in digital inclusion in India. Hence, this article focuses on women in digital inclusion to understand the digital divide between men and women in India.
