Abstract	In today’s digital world, having a workforce that understands and uses technology is very important for a country’s growth. In India, education policies play a big role in helping students and workers learn digital skills. These policies guide how schools and colleges include digital education in their teaching and help provide access to technology for students and teachers. This paper looks at how Indian education policies and various government initiatives—such as the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Digital India campaign, National Digital Literacy Mission, Pradhan Mantri Gramin Digital Saksharta Abhiyanand PM eVIDYAetc.—are helping to build a digitally skilled population. These programs aim to improve digital learning by providing online platforms, training teachers in digital tools,and making digital content available in different. The paper also talks about challenges like the digital divide between urban and rural areas, lack of internet access, teachers training and the need for better teacher support. Through examples from different Indian states and Central government initiatives in digital literacy, the paper shows that strong policies, when implemented well, can help more people gain digital skills. It has huge impact on Employability and Socio-Economic Progress of the country. It also highlights the importance of working together—government, schools, private companies, and communities—to make sure digital education reaches everyone. Expected outcome: The research will highlight how Indian education policies and government initiatives have positively contributed to building a digitally skilled population, particularly through efforts like NEP 2020, Digital India, and PM eVIDYA. It will also bring attention to major challenges like the digital divide, especially between urban and rural areas, insufficient internet access, and inadequate teacher support and training.
