Abstract:

Digital transformation is a catalyst for socio-economic progress and sustainable development, especially in emerging economies like India. This paper investigates the critical role of digital transformation in advancing the education and health sectors in Telangana, aligning with India’s overarching developmental vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. Emphasizing grassroots digital inclusion, technological integration, and policy initiatives, the study presents an analytical overview of transformative programs such as Digital Telangana, T-Fiber broadband connectivity, telemedicine services, and digital learning platforms. Through a mixed-method approach integrating government reports, academic studies, and policy analysis, the research highlights measurable impacts on educational access, quality, equity, and healthcare delivery especially in rural and marginalized communities. The paper further discusses challenges, including digital literacy gaps and infrastructural disparities, while outlining strategic recommendations to harness emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and data-driven governance frameworks. The Telangana model epitomizes how state-led digital initiatives can drive inclusive growth and innovation, contributing significantly toward India’s vision of a digitally empowered, health-secure, and knowledge-driven society by 2047.
