Hon’ble Supreme Court on limitations of the digital system, and the inability of masses to reach the ground. Wherein marginalized are people worst affected due to limitation of digital means reaching them.

“There exists a digital divide in India, particularly between the rural and urban areas. The extent of the advances made in improving digital literacy and digital access falls short of penetrating the majority of the population in the country. Serious issues of availability of bandwidth and connectivity pose further challenges to digital penetration. A vaccination policy exclusively relies on a digital portal for vaccinating a significant population would be unable to meet its target of universal immunization owing to such a digital divide. It is the marginalised sections of society which will bear the brunt of the accessibility barrier. This could have serious implications on fundamental right to equality and the right to health of person within the above age group.”
