Harisal

India's First Digital Village

Harisal Smart Village | 

Harisal is a small village located in the Melghat region of Maharashtra, India. It has the distinction of being India’s first digital village, which means that it has been fully digitized and equipped with modern technology to enhance the quality of life of its inhabitants. In 2015, the Government of India launched the Digital India campaign to promote digital literacy and provide access to digital services to every citizen of the country. As part of this initiative, Harisal was selected to be transformed into a digital village. Since then, Harisal has undergone a complete digital transformation. The village is now equipped with high-speed internet connectivity, solar-powered streetlights, biometric attendance systems in schools, and digital payment solutions. Additionally, the village has a digital library, a telemedicine center, and a smart classroom that allows students to access online educational resources. The aim of the digital village initiative is to bring technology to rural areas and improve the lives of people living in remote regions of India. Harisal has become a model for other villages to follow, and the Indian government plans to replicate this model in other parts of the country to bring digital empowerment to more rural areas.
