The digital space has witnessed major transformations in the last couple of years and as per industry experts would continue to evolve itself. The latest entrant to the digital space is the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT can also be defined as interplay for software, telecom and electronic hardware industry and promises to offer tremendous opportunities for many industries.

With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), the number of connected sensors soon will reach trillions, working with billions of intelligent systems involving in-numerous applications will drive new consumer and business behaviour. The demand for increasingly intelligent industry solutions based on IoT will drive trillions of dollars in opportunity for IT industry and even more for the companies that take advantage of the IoT.

One of the top most initiatives in the form of Digital India Program of the Government which aims at ‘transforming India into digital empowered society and knowledge economy’, is expected to provide the required impetus for development of the IoT industry ecosystem in the country.

Department of Electronics and Information Technology,(DeiTY) has come out with a draft IOT Policy document which focuses on following objectives:

i. To create an IoT industry in India of USD 15 billion by 2020. It has been assumed that India would have a share of 5-6% of global IoT industry.

ii. To undertake capacity development (Human & Technology) for IoT specific skill-sets for domestic and international markets.

iii. To undertake Research & development for all the assisting technologies.

iv. To develop IoT products specific to Indian needs in all possible domains.

The Policy framework of the IoT Policy has been proposed to be implemented via a multi-pillar approach. The approach comprises of five vertical pillars (Demonstration Centres, Capacity Building & Incubation, R&D and Innovation, Incentives and Engagements, Human Resource Development) and 2 horizontal supports (Standards & Governance structure).

To read the policy document please refer the following URL:http://deity.gov.in/sites/upload_files/dit/files/Draft-IoT-Policy%20%281...

We invite your attention and comments to further improve the draft policy to create ecosystem for IoT industry in the country.

Last date for sending your suggestions is 31st October 2014.

In Kenya, a private company developed a mobile-payments system that allows users to transfer money using cell phones, effectively creating a banking system much more quickly than the government could have done. Once the system was privately created, the government was able to use it to provide additional service

Digitization will definitely help our country but its more important to make people aware of benefits of this. Education is the key. Another element is to deeply survey the regional requirements and come with a generic platform which will be helpful for all! We don't need lot of softwares or applications for different state or region!

First we need to work on basic infrastructure which is a prerequisite for IoT be it towers, power supply, bandwidth etc. The biggest transformation in IoT is of smart phones as ppl want to have everything accessible on their smartphones only. Software, telecom and hardware is deeply integrated in form of smartphones and it will evolve further!!

Sir, our Indian Towers are working at old communication technology so they generate huge amount of harmful radiation and data transmission rate is less so till now there is no any 3G communication in India. so gov. of India need to change regulation on telecommunication for tower and order for use those towers and transmitter and receiver which radiate less radiation and transmission rate high.
