Abstract	Abstract Picture this: a farmer in rural Cuttack checking land records on his smartphone, or a college student in the city rallying her friends on WhatsApp to vote in the local elections. India’s democracy is going digital, and it’s changing how people connect with their government. In Cuttack, Odisha, tools like the Odisha One Portal and social media are opening new doors for participation and transparency. But it’s not all smooth sailing—poor internet in villages, fake news, and cyber threats are real hurdles. This article dives into how Cuttack’s residents are embracing digital democracy, the challenges they face, and what can be done to make it work for everyone.
