Focus Areas

Out of seven important sectors identified by Prime Minister of India for development in the Global South, DAKSHIN would focus on three sectors viz. Agriculture, Health and Digital Solutions in the initial years.

Agriculture

The world will witness a 50% increase in food requirements due to the addition of new two billion people on earth by 2050, highlighting the need for more resilient, efficient, productive, remunerative, and sustainable agriculture. By prioritizing the integration of agri-tech, India aims to contribute the global endeavour and work with partner countries to ensure food security, boost farmer productivity, enable effective integration of domestic agriculture with regional value chains, and reduce risks associated with farming.

Health

The COVID-19 pandemic engineered fundamental shifts in public health and forced nations to reimagine the healthcare landscape. As emerging economies find innovative ways of addressing their challenges, and bolstering their systems, they are uniquely poised to work together and thus progress together. India – with its successful implementation of the world’s largest vaccination drive and deployment of initiatives like Vaccine Maitri to help other countries in need – now has a repository of good practices that can be invaluable to any country seeking to strengthen its health systems.

Digital Solutions

In less than a century, digital advancements have completely changed our lives. The last couple of decades have seen huge leaps in the capabilities of and access to digital technology. Most recently, pandemic-induced physical restrictions further pushed a wide-scale adoption of transformative technologies, as the world innovated to ensure seamless access to services such as healthcare, banking, e-governance, and education. In this regard, India, as part of its G20 Presidency, has showcased the country’s vision and achievements that have played an important role in any country’s growth story.
