Big digital shake-up! Indian govt plans to bring AI-powered eKYC and global ID verification via DigiLocker
The Indin government on Saturday announced its plans to introduce AI-based eKYC and global credential verification facilities in the DigiLocker platform.
Abhishek Singh, Additional Secretary of the Ministry of Electronics and IT, described India’s journey in technology-enabled governance as a ‘Digital Trust Revolution,’ highlighting DigiLocker’s pivotal role in building trust in governance systems for millions.
He remarked during the National Conference on ‘DigiLocker-Enabling Paperless Access for All’, held this week, in New Delhi.
The conference underscored the transformative role of DigiLocker in facilitating paperless governance, inclusive education, and secure digital services, which is a critical milestone in the nation’s ongoing Digital Trust Revolution.
Organised by the National e-Governance Division (NeGD), Ministry of Electronics and IT at Bharat Mandapam, the conference provided a collaborative platform to discuss and showcase how DigiLocker continues to evolve from a simple secure document storage facility into a cornerstone of trust, convenience, and efficiency across government, education, and industry sectors.
The National Conference was chaired by S. Krishnan, Secretary, MeitY. In his keynote address, Krishnan highlighted India’s digital journey evolving from connectivity to capability, service delivery to self-reliance and now from digitalization towards trust as the new infrastructure of governance.
He said, “DigiLocker serves as the trust layer connecting citizens, ministries, and departments—enabling secure, interoperable, and accountable digital governance. Our vision is a future where every digital interaction is trusted, every citizen empowered, and every institution accountable.”
