The digital space has witnessed major transformations in the last couple of years and as per industry experts would continue to evolve itself. The latest entrant to the digital space is the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT can also be defined as interplay for software, telecom and electronic hardware industry and promises to offer tremendous opportunities for many industries.

With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), the number of connected sensors soon will reach trillions, working with billions of intelligent systems involving in-numerous applications will drive new consumer and business behaviour. The demand for increasingly intelligent industry solutions based on IoT will drive trillions of dollars in opportunity for IT industry and even more for the companies that take advantage of the IoT.

One of the top most initiatives in the form of Digital India Program of the Government which aims at ‘transforming India into digital empowered society and knowledge economy’, is expected to provide the required impetus for development of the IoT industry ecosystem in the country.

Department of Electronics and Information Technology,(DeiTY) has come out with a draft IOT Policy document which focuses on following objectives:

i. To create an IoT industry in India of USD 15 billion by 2020. It has been assumed that India would have a share of 5-6% of global IoT industry.

ii. To undertake capacity development (Human & Technology) for IoT specific skill-sets for domestic and international markets.

iii. To undertake Research & development for all the assisting technologies.

iv. To develop IoT products specific to Indian needs in all possible domains.

The Policy framework of the IoT Policy has been proposed to be implemented via a multi-pillar approach. The approach comprises of five vertical pillars (Demonstration Centres, Capacity Building & Incubation, R&D and Innovation, Incentives and Engagements, Human Resource Development) and 2 horizontal supports (Standards & Governance structure).

To read the policy document please refer the following URL:http://deity.gov.in/sites/upload_files/dit/files/Draft-IoT-Policy%20%281...

We invite your attention and comments to further improve the draft policy to create ecosystem for IoT industry in the country.

Last date for sending your suggestions is 31st October 2014.

According to me various companies in India should provide latest online professional courses like cloud computing, ethical hacking etc.& also some basic computing courses with certification in schools, colleges, universities, homes etc & that too at low prices so that majority of Indians can get a knowledge of technology. As the users will increase off course the demand for technology will increase & more people can easily handle things.

Digital India. One of the fastest developing field is Information Technology, which is liked by the Gen Y.As a teenager, what I would like to visualise Digital India is an India which is updated. Everyone having smartphones conversing each other, with the bureaucracy being transparent with the help of digitisation. An India where information is safe and highly encrypted by our software engineers. We need to help this set of people so that their creativity helps boost our economy. A modern India.

70% income of Indian railway comes from freight. It accounts for 31% of the total freight in India. Hence we must have ICT enabled special north-south and east-west dedicated corridors for goods trains to ensure timely delivery of goods, where every businessman should be able to know the position of his goods train, like passenger trains. For this the goods trains must have the same ID structure or number as the passenger trains do. sanjaymohanb@yahoo.com

Sir if u want a real digital india then have to change the working style of bsnl. We people do not prefer bsnl because of its bad services. Government employees don't listen and work on complaints. So sir make this bsnl like a corporate powerhouse and make a policy for god employees and bad employees.

First of all, kudos! Great idea and reasonably good draft. A few things I would like to point out - 1. The biggest issue IoT field faces is of standardization. So, we will have to be careful about that. 2. The Sensors. As they are the physical building blocks and in wide variety, they are very important. If we produce sensors inside our country, it would be greatly beneficial to us and also support the "Make in India" project. 3. The certification and course described in draft should start SOON
