In a recent article in the Economic Times, from May of 2015, it was noted that the government in India will soon launch the Digital India Platform (abbreviated as “DIP”) which will be a place online which will provide freelancing opportunities to people in India – similar to the way that IndiaFreelancers.com provides freelancing opportunities to people in India.
The plan for the DIP is that the government plans to convert all of the current and future government documents into digital form. As such, the government will allow freelancers to bid on the work to convert all of these government documents into a digital format.
The requirements for someone to take part in this government DIP program is that the interested person needs to have, or apply for, a government Aadhaar number prior to visiting the government DIP website to apply for freelancerwork.
In creating this DIP program, “We are of course cautious about the confidentiality of government documents” said India IT Secretary, RS Sharma. It is for this reason that the government plans to parcel out the documents to the freelancers line by line.
