The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) is a multistakeholder platform that brings together representatives from various sectors to discuss public policy issues related to the Internet on an equal footing. With over 1.4 billion citizens, 1.2 billion mobile users, and 900 million Internet users, India’s digital landscape is rapidly evolving, making E-Governance and National Security critical concerns. India IGF (IIGF) facilitates dialogue among intergovernmental organizations, private companies, the technical community, academia, and civil society on Internet governance issues through open and inclusive processes. This multistakeholder model has been a key factor in the Internet’s success.
