According to a report by TOI, the initiative of turning Dudhli digital was taken by RTI activist Ajay Kumar. Kumar had written to the Prime Minister’s Office in 2016, demanding internet connectivity in the village. The PMO had taken note and assured that the village would get internet facilities.

The Digital India programme is a flagship programme of the Government of India with a vision to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy.  The scheme ensures that Government services are made available to citizens electronically through improved online infrastructure and by increasing Internet connectivity or by making the country digitally empowered in the field of technology.
