E-inclusion, also known as digital inclusion, is the process that helps in providing equal access to information and communication technologies (ICTs) for all citizens of society. The purpose of digital inclusion is to narrow down the digital gap among people through improved digital literacy, affordability of hardware and connectivity, and inclusive engagement in the digital economy. This research paper focuses on the idea of e-inclusion with respect to society, its significance in the context of social equity, the problems associated with developing and underdeveloped countries, and methods for inclusive digital growth.
