An Analytical Study of Public Perception on Contemporary Information Technology Issues and Global Synergies in the Context of Viksit Bharat at 2047: With Special Reference to Jaipur District, Rajasthan, India

Abstract

The paper deals with public perception of contemporary IT issues constitute digital divide, cybersecurity, data privacy, and AI ethics, while also contemplating the role of global digital synergies in catapulting the India Viksit Bharat 2047 project. Methodology — The design constructed has that of a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based survey. One hundred and ten samples have drawn purposively by the respondent-aided method online from adult residents of Jaipur District, Rajasthan as a case study. Statistical tools have used descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations and multiple-regression modelling through SPSS-29 software (Windows) to establish relations between digital literacy, issue-awareness, citizen concerns, and willingness in contributing to national IT initiatives. Findings & Results — Mean composite scores show moderately high digital-literacy (M = 3.55, SD = 0.76) and awareness (M = 3.60, SD = 0.59), but only average confidence in local IT infrastructure (M = 3.52, SD = 0.54). Digital-literacy showed a weak, non-significant positive correlation with 'global-synergy' perceptions (r = .08, p > .05), whereas concerns regarding data misuse and job displacement with borderline levels of significance alone predicted proactive engagement (β = .41, p = .066). Value and Implications — Closer examination reveals persistent urban-rural and education gaps, thus placing the onus upon policymakers to priorities targeted capacity-building and steel enforcement to divert bottom-up concerns toward constructive participation.
