Abstract

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the much ambitious 'Digital India' programme in the presence of top industrialists who shared their ideas of taking digital revolution to the masses. The Digital India programme is a flagship programme of the Government of India with a vision to India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. This is a big step forward to transform the country into a digitally empowered knowledge economy. Launched various schemes worth over Rs 1 lakh crore like Digital Locker, e-education, e-health, e-sign and national scholarship portal. Bharat Net and Next Generation Network (NGN), are also a part of Digital India campaign. The programme includes projects that aim to ensure that government services are available to citizens electronically and people get benefit of the latest information and communication technology. The Ministry of Communications and IT is the nodal agency to implement the programme. Developed Apps for Digital India Digital India Portal, My Gov Mobile App, Swachh Bharat Mission App and Aadhaar Mobile Update App. Vision of Digital India Digital Infrastructure as a Utility to Every Citizen, Governance & Services on Demand Digital, Empowerment of Citizens Pillars of Digital India Broadband Highways, Universal Access to Phones, Public Internet Access Programme, e-Governance, Reforming government through Technology e-Kranti, Electronic delivery of services and Information for all are covered in this paper. Electronics Manufacturing Targets NET ZERO Imports. Extending Broadband in 2.5 lakh villages, universal phone connectivity, Net Zero Imports by 2020 is aimed. Four lakhs Public Internet Access Points, Wi-Fi in 2.5 lakh schools, all universities; Public Wi-Fi hotspots for citizens Digital Inclusion in addition to 1.7 Crores trained for IT, Telecom and Electronics Jobs. Direct 1.7 Cr. and Indirect 8.5 Core Jobs creation across India in IT use in services - health, education, banking. For Digitally empowered citizens - public cloud, internet access. Benefits of Digital Locker Digital Locker facility will help citizens to digitally store their important documents like PAN card, passport, mark sheets and degree certificates. National Optical Fiber Network (NOFN) proposes seven lakh kilometers of optical fiber to be laid to connect 250-gram panchayats in three years. Public Wi-Fi spots will be provided around the clusters after that and all villages will be provided with internet connectivity. Digital India initiative as, "India would become a very powerful digitally connected world. This would lead to a good architecture for electronic delivery service. The entire contour of India is change. India is sitting at the cusp of a big digital revolution. Post demonetization rapid progress towards digitization is also discussed at length.

Post Demonetization Budget-2017- Expectations, Apprehensions and Reality: India's Budget-2017

Post Demonetization Budget-2017- Expectations, Apprehensions and Reality: India's Budget-2017 (Demonetisation Book 2) Kindle Edition by ajit roy (Author, Editor) The Prime Minister's announcement of the withdrawal of ₹1000 and ₹500 notes ranks among the most significant economic measures taken by his government. The audacious move has given birth to hopes of a decisive blow to the black economy, terrorism and counterfeit currency. It is also being lauded for its potential to convert India into a cashless economy. The backdrop to the Budget was a fairly volatile past few months with multiple issues such as (a) demonetisation; (b) ambiguities on indirect transfer taxes; (c) treaty changes to India-Mauritius Treaty etc. Union finance minister Arun Jaitley stepped into Parliament on February 1, 2017, unveiled India’s first post demonetisation Budget.

Evaluation of Performance of Primary Fisheries Cooperative Societies (MSS) of Tripura A.D. Upadhyay, M. Sinha, 1 , A.K. Roy, J.R. Dhanze and D.K. Pandey College of Fisheries, Central Agricultural University, Lembucherra Tripura – 799 210, India 1 Directorate of Fisheries, Govt. of Tripura, Agartala, India Email:ad_up@rediffma Abstract Fishermen cooperatives are recognized as means of socio-economic development of fishers/fish farming community, which generally belong to weaker section of the society. The state of Tripura has made significant progress in fish production by 197 per cent from 2004-05 to 2011-12. An attempt has been made in this paper to analyse the status of Fishermen Cooperatives in Tripura with respect to water holdings and fish and fish seed production. It has been found that the fishermen cooperative in Tripura like other states of the country is not encouraging because majority of them...

Statistical Methods for Genomic Sequence and Microarray Analysis

Statistical Methods for Genomic Sequence and Microarray Analysis A.K. Roy1 and S.R. Martha1 1 Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture Kausalyaganga,Bhubaneshwar – 751 002,Odisha Multivariate analysis methods such as Correspondence Analysis and Principle Component Analysis have often been used to identify major trends of variation in synonymous codon usage among inter or intra specific genes. Genetic codes are degenerate meaning most of amino acids can be encoded by more than one codon (triplet of nucleotides); such codons are synonymous and usually differ by one nucleotide in the third position. The alternative synonymous codons are not used with similar frequency and their usage varies among different genes. Hence there is the presence of Relative Synonymous Codon Usage values.
