Indian Administration acknowledges the celebration of world Telecommunication and information Society Day 2022 on the theme "Digital technologies for Older Persons and Healthy Ageing". The WTISD commemorates founding of ITU. It also strives to spread awareness on the importance of Information and Communication Technologies to empower people and society's economic verticals. Bridging the digital divide in different forms, is one of the key objectives of international telecommunication Union across the countries and communities. The Council document (C22/17) proposes the theme, "Digital Technologies for Road Safety" for WTISD 2023, an important topic for consideration. However, it may also be recalled that the United Nations has recognized least developed countries (LDCs) as a category of States since 1971 and it is over 50 years since its categorization. There are quite a few important resolutions and efforts to bridge digital divide with focus on Least Developed Countries and other category of countries to proliferate broadband services.
