What is DPI?
 DPI (Digital Public Infrastructure) refers to the technological framework and systems that enable digital transformation and provide essential digital services to the public.
 It includes various components such as digital identity (e.g., Aadhar), digital payments (e.g., UPI), data exchange, and other digital solutions that contribute to improving governance, inclusivity, and efficiency in public services.

Key Highlights:
 India has signed MoUs signed with Armenia, Sierra Leone, and Suriname to share India’s digital solutions (India Stack).
 Focus on DPI’s role in facilitating fast and inclusive digital payments as well as bridging the financial divide through DPI.
 The importance of digital identities such as Aadhaar (India) and PhilSys (Philippines) were highlighted.
 Implementation of DPI in judicial systems e.g., e-court systems, e-filing, paperless courts, live streaming.
 A draft Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Mutual Recognition Framework has been released by the Ministry of Electronics & IT for the adoption of India’s DPI beyond India.
