Programme to be Launched Initially in 200 Cities Initially, the programme will be launched in 200 different locations across 13 states. With time, the initiative is expected to reach over 7,000 locations while empowering millions of first-time internet users and JioPhone users. Mr Akash Ambani, Director, Reliance Jio remarked on this new initiative, “Jio is always looking to work with key global partners to enhance the digital life experience of the Indian consumer. The Digital Udaan initiative is one such example, which will help eradicate barriers of information asymmetry and provide accessibility in real time. It is a program for inclusive information, education and entertainment, where no Indian will be left out of this digital drive. Jio envisions to take this to every town and village of India, achieving 100% digital literacy in the country.” Notably, this initiative will connect the participants and first-time internet users to the rest of the internet community.
