Digital Nepal Framework: 1 – 8 – 80 Vision  Digital based Social economic prosperity Mission  To harness digital technologies as a catalyst to positively transform government, society and economy Objectives   To strengthen the foundation for a knowledge-based society and digital economy To provide a framework for action aimed at leveraging digital technologies to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Under the Digital Nepal framework, eight sectors – digital foundation, agriculture, health, education, energy, tourism, finance and urban infrastructure – have been identified based on close engagement with stakeholders. The framework aims to guide Nepal on its journey toward becoming a digital state. Digital Foundation: Digital foundation is the foundation of the Digital Nepal program. While Internet penetration in Nepal has risen sharply in the past few years, a large section of Nepalese remains digitally uninitiated due to concerns around affordability, access, and digital illiteracy. The program intends to bridge this gap by providing broader access to connectivity using public-private partnerships and government initiatives. Agriculture: Digital Nepal initiatives in the agriculture sector encompass technological solutions aimed at maximizing yield and minimizing agricultural input. The use of agritech solutions is anticipated to boost farm productivity and sustainability to meet growing food consumption, and in turn, increase farmers’ incomes. 26
