Against the backdrop of increasingly dynamic public service delivery systems, digital health solutions represent an important inclusive growth driver. India's healthcare system, otherwise plagued by inefficiencies, has begun adopting digital technologies to enable access, transparency, and accountability. Of these, the Online Registration System (ORS) is a revolutionary program offering centralized and Aadhaar-linked online appointments at government hospitals. Launched in 2015 as part of the Digital India program, ORS bridges the gap between citizens and healthcare services, primarily in congested public hospitals.
GPS Aided GEO Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) is a step by the Indian Government towards initial Satellite-based Navigation Services in India. It is a system to improve the accuracy of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver by providing reference signals. Satellite Navigation service is an emerging satellite-based system with commercial and strategic applications.
