Paragraph 72 of the Tunis Agenda of the UN-based Internet Governance forum: (IGF). Through an open and inclusive process, IIGF brings together all stakeholders in the Global Internet governance ecosystem, including government, industry, civil society, academia - as equal participants of the larger Internet Governance discourse.
The objective of the event was to discuss and deliberate on the roadmap to Digitisation and reaffirm India as an essential participant on the global stage by highlighting its role and importance in the International Policy development on Internet Governance.

The India Internet Governance Forum will be a step ahead in ensuring inclusive participation of all stakeholders in harnessing the power of the Internet for economic growth."

The rate of Digitisation has increased and accelerated rapidly. The internet and the technologies hosted on it are going to play a significant role in our lives. The biggest stakeholders are the consumers, so it’s important that they get together once a year and debate what the internet should be like, making IGF a required forum. Our mandate is precisely what the stakeholders want. The internet should be a open, safe, trusted and accountable to its stakeholders.
Dr. Ajay Data, Chairman UASG mentioned “In India we have 19,000 dialects, 121 Languages and 22 official languages. Indian citizens should have a domain name of its choice.
