Digital Ambassadors Take Charge: DoT Launches Nationwide Sanchar Mitra Scheme

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) under the Ministry of Communications rolled out the Sanchar Mitra Scheme across India on Friday, July 11, 2025. This initiative aims to leverage the energy and reach of student volunteers.

These students will act as “Digital Ambassadors,” promoting telecom awareness and digital literacy among the population. The scheme is expected to significantly boost digital inclusion.

The DoT hopes to bridge the digital divide through this grassroots approach. By empowering students, the scheme aims to reach even the remotest corners of the country.

The Sanchar Mitra Scheme represents a significant step towards achieving the government’s digital India vision. Its success will depend on effective implementation and the enthusiasm of the participating students. The long-term impact on digital literacy across India remains to be seen, but the initiative’s potential is undeniable. The success of this program will be crucial in ensuring India’s digital future.
