write only on empowered indian (tone- human, tense-present)

In India, the concept of empowering its citizens is a crucial aspect of ensuring the overall development and progress of the nation. While significant strides have been made in reducing poverty and improving living conditions, is still an evident need to address wider deprivation across the population.

Empowering Indians encompasses providing them with access to fundamental necessities as food, energy, housing, clean water, sanitation, healthcare, education, and social security. It's about creating an environment where individuals have the means to fulfill these basic needs not just at a subsistence level, but at a level that ensures a decent standard of living for all.

As of now, a considerable portion of the population approximately 56%, is lacking the resources to meet these essential needs. This underscores the pressing need to focus on policies and initiatives that can bridge this gap and uplift the lives of millions of Indians.

The journey towards empowering Indians involves the formulation implementation of comprehensive strategies that tackle these fundamental needs, thereby empowering individuals to lead healthier, more secure and more fulfilling lives. It calls for the creation of opportunities, infrastructure, and support systems that enable every Indian to thrive and to the nation's growth and prosperity. Through targeted efforts and collaborative action, it is within our reach to realize a truly empowered India, where every citizen has the opportunity to lead a dignified and empowered life.

India has made encouraging progress by halving its official poverty rate, from 45 percent of the population in 1994 to 22 percent in 2012. This is an achievement to be celebratedyet it also gives the nation an opportunity to set higher aspirations. While the official poverty line counts only those living in the most abject conditions, even a cursory scan of Indias human-development indicators suggests more widespread deprivation. Above and beyond the goal of eradicating extreme poverty, India can address these issues and create a new national vision for helping more than half abillion people attain a more economically empowered life. To realize this vision, policy makers need a more comprehensive benchmark to measure gaps that must be closed and inform the allocation of resources. To this end, the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) has created the Empowerment Line, an analytical framework that determines the level of consumption required to fulfill eight basic needsfood, energy, housing, drinking water, sanitation, health care, education, and social securityat a level sufficient to achieve a decent standard of living rather than bare subsistence. In applying this metric to India, we found that in 2012, 56 percent of the population lacked the means to meet essential needs. By this measure, some 680 million Indians experienced deprivation, more than 2.5 times the population of 270 million below the official poverty line. Hundreds of millions have exited extreme poverty but continue to struggle for a modicum of dignity, comfort, and security. The Empowerment Gap, or the additional consumption required to bring these 680 million people to the level of the Empowerment Line, is seven times higher than the cost of eliminating poverty as defined by the official poverty line (exhibit). A new measure of povertythe Empowerment Lineshows that the additional consumption (the Empowerment Gap) needed to give 680 million people decent living standards is seven times higher than the cost of eliminating poverty as defined by the government. The Empowerment Line is a measure of individual consumption, yet the ability or willingness to spend is not wholly sufficient, in itself, to guarantee a decent life. Households also need access to basic services, such as health clinics and schools, at a community level, as well as electricity, drinking water, and improved sanitation within their homes. Our research finds that Indian households, on average, lack access to 46percent of the basic services they need, and it identifies wide geographic disparities in the availability of social infrastructure. Job creation and productivity gains have historically been the most powerful forces for improving living standardsand India is in need of deep reforms that can encourage businesses to invest, scale up, and hire. If Indias recent weak economic performance continues and no major reforms are undertaken, we project that in 2022 more than one-third of the population will remain below the Empowerment Line and that 12 percent will remain trapped in extreme poverty. MGIs research outlines a more ambitious yet economically sound path of inclusive reforms, which could lift 580 million people above the Empowerment Line by 2022, while virtually eliminating extreme poverty. It involves four key priorities: Accelerating job creation. India needs to add 115 million new nonfarm jobs over the next decade to accommodate a growing population and reduce agricultures overall share in employment. The manufacturing and construction sectors, along with labor-intensive services, can form the backbone of this effort. To support job creation, policy makers can focus on reducing the administrative burden on businesses, accelerating infrastructure projects, making the labor market more flexible, removing market distortions, and expanding vocational training for the poor and uneducated. Raising farm productivity. Increasing investment in agricultural infrastructure and implementing reforms

The last few years have seen a massive explosion in information technology the world over. The confluence of electronics and telecommunications has opened new vistas of transmission, storage, and retrieval of information as never before. These are being increasingly used for decision-making, not only in the corporate world, but even in public administration. The increasing population and its massive burden on civic amenities and the socio-economic infrastructure is unimaginable. With this transformation, e-Governance becomes not only a necessity but an integral part of every nation. e-Governance initiatives in India have traditionally being confronted by the dual challenges of automating government departments and taking online services to the common man.e-Governance has moved beyond government departments. It is about transforming the way governments work to reinvent people's participation in the democratic process. e-Governance provides a platform to integrate solutions and services between Government-to-Citizens (G2C), Government-to-Business (G2B) and Government-to-Government (G2G), empowering both the government and the citizen like never before.According to a recent report by McKinsey, an average Indian mobile data user currently consumes more than 8 GB of data per month, which exceeds the average in more digitally advanced countries such as China and South Korea. It is expected that India will witness an increase in the number of internet users to 800 million by 2023, driven by the increasing availability and decreasing cost of high-speed connectivity and smartphones. The Government's Digital India initiative is bringing broadband internet access to 250,000-gram panchayats or self-governing village councils to make it easier for millions to connect online. With a strong foundation of digital infrastructure and expanded digital access through Digital India Programme of the Government, India is now poised for the next phase of growth creation of tremendous economic value and empowerment for citizens as new digital applications permeate sector after sector. India can create up to $1 trillion of economic value from the digital economy in 2025, up from around $200 billion currently. Improving the trust between governments and citizens is fundamental to good governance and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is progressively becoming an essential tool for promoting accountability, convenience and transparent governance. State governments around the country are pushing hard to deploy information and technology in their operations. From utilising ICT for elections, census, computerising all the government offices, to digital lockers e-Transportation, e-Health, e-Education and e-Taxation, new India has paved its way in the realm of e-Governance.The government is working with stakeholders to build India on this digital dynamism to deepen, widen, and scale up its digital economy in the coming years, creating huge economic value and empowering millions of people across all walks of life. Numerous schemes introduced by the government like Jan Dhan Yojana to provide financial inclusion to unbanked people has enabled banking, pension (PMSBY and PMJJBY) and insurance (Atal Pension Yojana) services to common citizens, thereby digitally empowering the citizens. An impressive number of more than 1.21 billion Indians have already enrolled for the government's biometric digital identity programme (according to Unique Identification Authority of India). Aadhaar is one of the examples of digital amplification that brings massive number of users onto a common digital platform. Data generated through Aadhaar-based identification is also helping the government maintain health records under its ambitious healthcare programme, Ayushman Bharat-National Health Protection Scheme, to make it accessible to all citizens.Driven by technology, e-Governance is transforming citizen services by providing access to information, integrating various
