On Monday, Google released a statement supporting and endorsing the PM's "digital India" programme. The app is one of the government initiatives where Google has pledged support.
The internet giant says it will also work with the government to "encourage digital literacy and internet safety" by introducing curriculums for schools, officials and elected representatives.
"The mobile app will bring the PMO to every citizen and the contest will showcase how Indians can build a world class app," said Google in a release, adding, "Google is working with the department of information technology and other state governments to develop these initiatives."
"I'm happy Google is coming forward to roll out initiatives that will contribute to the Digital India vision," says R S Sharma, secretary of the department of electronics and information technology.
"There are more than a billion people who will need to be brought online for India to realize the vision of a digitally connected, knowledge economy. Prime Minister Modi's Digital India program will play a transformational role in achieving this, and we are excited to be making a meaningful contribution by rolling out several initiatives in collaboration with the Government of India," says Rajan Anandan, Google India's vice president and managing director.
He also pointed out that India has the world's third largest number of internet users with 245 million users as of June 2014 and on track to become the second largest user market by 2015 and a 500 million-user market by 2016.
