Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the Digital India Project via video conference in two village panchayats of a district in Indore, a senior official said.

The Digital India Project, a pet scheme of the Modi government, aims to connect all gram panchayats by broadband internet, promote e-governance and transform India into a connected knowledge economy.

The Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited's Indore Circle General Manager MR Rawat said that ten village panchayats, which are around 35 km from Indore, will be connected with a high-speed internet service under the project that will be launched today.

Work to connect 335 village panchayats with high-speed internet is nearing completion, the BSNL official said.
