India has emerged as a global pioneer in leveraging large-scale digital frameworks to streamline the delivery of public services. Its Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) now serves as a significant international blueprint for modern governance, demonstrating how technology can enhance accessibility, inclusion, and operational efficiency across a diverse population.

In an upcoming presentation at UC San Diego, Manoj Ahuja will outline the role of DPI in revolutionizing the agricultural and educational landscapes. He will highlight the impact of initiatives such as AgriStack and digital learning systems like DIKSHA and the Academic Bank of Credits, which are designed to modernize traditional sectors through data-driven integration.

Following this, Arti Ahuja will analyze the influence of digital systems on healthcare and social security. Her discussion will center on the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission and the e-Shram registry, a platform that connects informal laborers with essential government benefits, vocational training, and career prospects.

This public lecture is organized by the 21st Century India Center and the Peter F. Cowhey Center on Global Transformation at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS). The event will be held at the Malamud Conference Room within the Institute of the Americas on the UC San Diego campus.
