ABSTRACT The concept of governance, rooted in the Greek term 'kubernao' meaning to steer, is fundamental to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's philosophy of "Minimum Government, Maximum Governance." This research examines India's digital governance approach in its COVID-19 vaccination efforts, with a focus on efficiency. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization officially declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. In response, India introduced the CoWIN platform on January 16, 2021. This digital system managed vaccine registrations, appointments, and certification processes, ultimately facilitating the world's largest vaccination campaign, administering over 2 billion doses. CoWIN's integration with the Aarogya Setu app further enhanced transparency and accountability in the vaccination process. India's extensive internet and smartphone penetration enabled rapid adoption of these digital tools. This approach exemplified the government's guiding principle of "Collective Effort, Inclusive Development, Mutual Trust, and Everyone's Endeavor" (a translation of "Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishvas aur Sabka Prayas").
