This competition seeks to boost public engagement and awareness while establishing a visual identity for the DCR framework. The selected winning design will serve as the official logo for DCR certifications, digital platforms, stakeholder communications, and nationwide outreach initiatives.
Understanding the Digital Connectivity Rating Framework
Under the Rating of Properties for Digital Connectivity Regulations, 2024, TRAI has introduced a comprehensive system to evaluate buildings’ preparedness for superior digital connectivity. This includes assessments of mobile coverage, broadband infrastructure, and real-world service performance.
