The exponential rise of technological innovations in the past two decades has influenced every facet of human civilization. In synchronization with the era of digital revolution, Government of India has initiated a flagship program with a vision to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. This vision of digital reforms can also embrace the domains of planning and implementation of projects, particularly relevant to Science and Technology. Department of Science and Technology through its special initiative is funding projects in the geographical areas that needs specific scientific & technological interventions. One such program is for Cold Desert Region (CODER) of Western Himalaya encompassing Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir. The prevalence of cell phones even in remote locations and myriad of mobile apps along with ease of their use has led to development of a mobile app named as CODER_Network app. Its primary objective is to build strong linkages amongst stakeholders including researchers, field workers, monitoring team, funding agency and subject experts mostly hailing from academic institutions. Such a network would not only help in accelerating communication but also enable the monitoring team to evaluate various project activities in real time and provide effective mentoring and handholding. These efforts of government and academia collectively may optimistically magnify the output of Digital India campaign.
