article/opinion/columns/made- in-india-digital-diplomacy- 7695385/ - In the intro, mention how the foundation made on Aadhar is transforming our lives.
- In the body, mention the opportunity for India to take made-in-India digital public goods to hundreds of emerging economies across the world. Next mention factors such as reusability of code, short gestation period, compounding nature of digital public goods, etc. Emerging economies are characterized by gross inefficiencies in the delivery of government services and a consequent trust deficit. India’s digital diplomacy will be beneficial to and welcomed by, all emerging economies from Peru to Polynesia, from Uruguay to Uganda, and from Kenya to Kazakhstan.
- Conclude by mentioning that initiative will create a strong foothold for India globally to counter the extravagantly expensive, brick-and-mortar led Belt and Road Initiative of China.

Introduction is good.
In next part, you have detailed India’s public goods. Although points are good, keep them concise, mention broad advantages of digital public goods- better reach, lower expense, compounding of digital goods infrastructure whereas depreciation of physical infrastructure with time, elimination of ghost beneficiaries, streamlining of processes etc
Next part about opportunity is fine, you can also include points comparing with BRI initiative of China, scope in emerging countries etc
Other points are good.
Address the question from GS2 international relations perspective (how it will be beneficial) rather than making it more like a science & tech answer.
Conclusion can be written from that perspective.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Introduction is good.
In next part about opportunities, integrate it with India’s initiatives. You can mention broad advantages of digital public goods- better reach, lower expense, compounding of digital goods infrastructure whereas depreciation of physical infrastructure with time, elimination of ghost beneficiaries, streamlining of processes etc with examples of each from Indian context.
Next, you can mention few points on how it can aid in diplomacy- compare it with China’s BRI, talk about some shortcomings in emerging economies and how digital public goods can help to plug those gaps.
Conclusion is good.
Keep practicing. 🙂
