District Digital Readiness Index<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The District Digital Readiness Index is a pivotal tool within our comprehensive regional development strategy. Tailored to the diverse needs of each district, this index enables us to customize strategies effectively. By establishing the Digital Readiness Index (DRI), we prioritize initiatives with precision, ensuring resources are directed where they matter most. With support from the Department of Census and Statistics, this index empowers us to bridge gaps and guide Sri Lanka’s digital transformation on a district-by-district basis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
