Digital revolution has created numerous opportunities in India. Internet penetration rate is very high in India which in turn has created the requirement of making India digitally active. Indian government is working on crucial projects like Smart City, Make in India and Digital India. The internet penetration rate is increasing in rural areas but this increment is less than urban areas’ internet penetration rate. The purpose of this paper is to understand the policies launched by the government of India to increase the internet self-efficacy level of people in rural areas. The paper explores the Digital village scheme and Digital Village 2.0 campaign and its impact on villagers after its application in selected villages. There is a strong need to impart digitalization knowledge to rural India for creating balance between urban India and rural India and its success motivates the government for taking the next step for enhancing digitalization in rural India.
