The government of India is preparing to provide a big facility for the countrymen soon. Now there will be no need to download separate apps to get information or facilities of government services and schemes. The government is planning to bring all its apps into one app suite.

In this regard, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) has written a letter to Google and Apple urging them to make this app suite available for download on their platforms. Also, smartphone manufacturing companies have been requested to pre-install it.

Government's App Suite: What is the plan?

The aim of the government is to make all government services available in one place so that citizens can get a better experience. Right now citizens have to download different apps for government services, which causes inconvenience to the users. Through this app suite, users will not only be able to avail the services easily but will also be able to get information about government schemes without any hassle.

If this plan is successful, it will take the use of digital services in India to a new dimension. Access to government services will be easier and faster so that more people can take advantage of them.

Google and Apple opposed

According to media reports, Google and Apple do not seem enthusiastic about this initiative. Google has opposed this plan of the government, while Apple is also not taking a positive attitude towards it. These companies say that the apps on their platforms not only give them control but also revenue. If government apps are made easily available or pre-installed on platforms, it may affect their revenue and control.

The government will take a tough stand.

In view of the disagreement between Google and Apple, the Government of India has decided to take a tough stand on this issue. According to reports, if the companies do not agree to the government's request, legal action can be taken against them.

This is not the first time that the Government of India has shown strictness on digital platforms. By banning TikTok and other Chinese apps in 2020, the government had made it clear that the national interest and convenience of citizens are the priority of the government.
