As indicator of growth of any country are Gross Domestic Product, literacy rate, digital literacy etc. Govt of India has been trying to increase digital literacy by increasing literacy level by following many measures. Govt is successful in increasing literacy rate but the pace is very slow, but with the intervention of internet and with that E-commerce portals and apps. Digital Divide has been reduced to a great extent although literacy rate is not improved at same pace. E-Commerce has increased digital literacy indirectly for which govt has not expected. I just try to explain in simple words how E- commerce has done this and still doing.
