He said that the work done by the Government of India during the ten years since 2014 has helped to improve India's performance from a dysfunctional government to an efficient government.

Rajeev Chandrasekhar was speaking as the Indian representative at an international conference held in London on the topic of "Future of Britain in a Changing World Order’.

Digital identity for 1.2 plus billion Indians is the core of our government architecture, which has, in many ways, transformed the narrative of India, which was earlier described as having a dysfunctional government. Before 2014, the general narrative about most of Asian countries was also that they could not deliver to their people. It was after 2014 that we embraced technology and transformed the narrative of a dysfunctional democracy and government.

Our approach to technology and digitizing governance transformed the narrative.

He said India has successfully established its digital public infrastructure, which could be adopted by other democratic countries.

The address by Rajeev Chandrasekhar was well appreciated by Mr. Tony Blair, in his commitments, subsequently. While addressing the audience along with Lord William Hague referred to the initiatives and leadership taken by Rajeev Chandrasekhar for establishing the digital system of governance.
