eSign framework
eSign facilitates digitally signing a document by an Aadhaar holder using an Online Service.
eSign is designed for applying Digital Signature using authentication of signer through
Aadhaar e-KYC service. This is an integrated service which facilitates issuing a Digital
Signature Certificate and performing signing of requested data by authenticating the
Aadhaar holder. Aadhaar is mandatory for availing the eSign Service.
Benefits of eSign:
Easy and secure way to digitally sign information anywhere, anytime – eSign is an
online service that offers the functionality to authenticate signers and perform the digital
signing of documents using Aadhaar e-KYC service to application service providers.
Hardware tokens are not required to be used.
Facilitates legally valid signatures – eSign process involves consumer consent, Digital
Signature Certificate generation, Digital Signature creation & affixing and Digital Signature
Certificate acceptance inaccordance with the provisions of the Information Technology (IT)
Act, 2000. It enforces compliance, through API specification and licensing model of APIs.
Comprehensive digital audit trail - in-built to confirm the validity of transactions is also
preserved.
Flexible and easy to implement - eSign provides configurable authentication options in
line with Aadhaar e-KYC service and also records the Aadhaar number that is used to
verify the identity of the signer. The authentication options for eKYC include biometric
(fingerprint or iris scan) or OTP (through the registered mobile in the Aadhaar database).
eSign enables easy access to legally valid Digital Signature service to millions of Aadhaar
holders.
Respecting privacy - eSign ensures the privacy of the signer by requiring only the
thumbprint (hash) of the document be submitted for signature function instead of the
whole document.
Secure online service - eSign Service is governed by e-authentication guidelines. While
authentication of the signer is carried out using Aadhaar e-KYC services, the signature on
the document is carried out on a backend server of the e-Sign provider. eSign services are
offered by trusted third party service provider, currently Certifying Authorities (CA)
licensed under the IT Act. To enhance security and prevent misuse, Aadhaarholders
private keys are created on Hardware Security Module (HSM) and destroyed.
e-Hospital
Under Digital India programme of Government of India, Hospital Management system with a
citizen facing portal has been developed which provides a unified platform for hospitals and
citizens to avail healthcare services. This portal aims to:
• provide a unified platform for citizens to avail healthcare services online
• establish identity of patients through Aadhaar number
Benefits:
• Saving of time and effort of citizens for availing healthcare services
• Providing Health services at the door step of citizens
• Providing Unique Health Identification (UHID) number for on-boarded hospitals using
Aadhaar

National Scholarships Portal
There has been a need to establish a single portal for all the scholarship schemes of central
government to cover various categories of economically weaker students including those
belonging to SC/ST/OBC/Minority Community and other disadvantaged categories. The
process of funds flow under these schemes has been reengineered for smoother and faster
transfer of funds from centre to the beneficiaries.
National Scholarship Portal is one such portal which is designed and developed with the
following distinctive features:
Common application form for all students
Unique login ID and password for all stakeholders
Release of scholarship to bank accounts of students through DBT
Generic in nature with built in configurability at every level of scholarship disbursement
process
Status update on the mobile at every step of disbursement process
Common MIS to track and monitor the process of selection by individual Ministries
Verification of genuineness of students
De duplication to ensure that only one scholarship is provided to a student
DIGITIZE INDIA PLATFORM (DIP)
The Government of India has undertaken an initiativefor large scale digitization of Records
in the country that would facilitate efficient delivery of services to the citizensand reduce
piles of papers in record rooms of offices of Government and non-Governmentorganizations.
It allows organizations not only to free their warehousing real estate but enables them to
keep their records in safer environment for longer duration.
The digitization of Records would aim the digitization of the Government’s files and
documents which are shareable and useful to the common citizens through innovative
“Crowd sourcing” method where each citizen can participate in digitization.
Under ‘Digital India’ programme,digitizing government records will be a stepping stone and
will play a critical role in archiving of files/ documents that can be retrieved in their original
form as and when required by the people/ Government.
Digitize India Platform leverages an innovative algorithm and technology to enable
digitization of any kind of record at reasonable price while keeping it safe and secure. Since
the platform uses “crowd sourcing”, it provides income generation opportunity for all by
facilitating people to work from home or any location as convenient to them. The algorithm
requires every word/phrase to be sent to two disconnected persons randomly selected. Each
one digitizes the word and submits. If the digitization by both persons matches they get
rewarded as per number of characters digitized. Based on words successfully digitized, user
keeps accumulating rewards and whenever he/she wishes, the amount can be credited into
their bank account directly.
Who can participate under DIP
All self-identified persons(Housewives, Students, Part Time Workers, Members from the
general public etc. ) can be a part of this digitization initiative:
Advantage to Citizen
Citizen can earn for every digitized character
Citizen can digitize data and earn even he/she is on movement as the digitization would
be available on mobile app, soon.
Bharatnet
Bharatnet is the world’s largest rural broadband connectivity project using optical fibre.It
would connect each of 2.5 lakh Gram Panchayats with a minimum of 100 Mbps bandwidth.
This network will be supported by a High Capacity Network Management System and
Network Optical Centre.
Bharatnet will serve as the infrastructure backbone of Digital India, taking Internet and
telecommunication services to every nook and corner of the country. It will facilitate the
delivery of e-Governance, e-Health,e-Education, e-Banking, Internet and various other
services to rural India.
Next Generation Network (NGN)
Next Generation Network (NGN) is an IP based technology to manage all types of services
like voice, data, multimedia/ video and other types of packet switched communication
services.NGN is based on distributed architectures therefore it has the capability of
providing enhanced services.
NGN Technology will converge different networks, which includes Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN), Data Network (Internet) and Wireless Mobile network. Not only voice, this
will enable the data to travel to consumers which means both voice and high speed
broadband will be enabled.
There will be some ‘never heard of value added services’ in landline telephone that are:
1. Wide area IP centix: This is a close user group(CUG) which is not only within his local
area, but also in entire country. Whichever part of the country a person resides in, he
will be able to make unlimited voice and video chat with an affordable fixed
rental/amount. The Centrix can be done without the telephone exchange/circle/state
boundaries. That means from Kashmir to Kanyakumari people can come under the CUG.
By paying a nominal monthly rental they can talk and video chat / conference among
themselves free of cost.
2. MMVC (Multimedia video conferencing):Any terminal, any access device can join a
conference. One customer using a SIP phone (session initiation protocol phone) can have
a conference with 30 people across the country. Soon it will become across the globe.A
SIP phone may be only a SIP phone or a Video SIP phone. People having
computer/laptop/tablet can use SIP phone by using the application in their system and
connecting SIP phone with it.
3. Fixed Mobile Convergence: The calls on your fixed line can get diverted to your mobile
phone (using 3-4 digit access code) and vice versa. That means if one has a fixed line at
office and home and a mobile phone, with the convergence, he/she will never miss any
call. All the phones will ring simultaneously and he/she can take the call from any
phone.
4. Fixed Line close to mobile (pre paid model in fixed line): All the facilities of mobile
phone will now be enabled on NGN technology using fixed line telephone. The prepaid
services can also be extended for other value added services i.e. MMVC, IP-Centrex &
FMC services.
BSNL WI-FI SERVICES
BSNL has undertaken large scale deployment of Wi-Fi hotspots throughout the country and
roll out has started. Wi-Fi enables customer to access affordable, anywhere & anytime, high
speed broadband services while on the move. Wi-Fi Hotspots shall be useful for providing
wireless high speed internet to the tourists, students and general public.
As on date, BSNL has launched Wi-Fi services at 78 Hotspots over 17 locations across 6
cities.
BSNL has already provided Wi-Fi services at various important tourist places and prominent
cities like Varanasi ghats, TajMahal Agra, HussainSagar Lake Hyderabad, Bangalore,
Vijayawada and Bilaspur etc. About 2500 hotspots are planned to be set up by BSNL during
the year 2015-16.
BSNL has also started the work for providing Wi-Fi services at ASI Monuments like Sarnath,
