Before going with the point, to whom it is benefited. I would like to spot some light on what India become when it attached with the word digital, it basically means connectivity, communicability, opportunities economically stability.

Now the question is how?

As we have seen this was the initiation taken by our honourable PM Narendra Modi sir. According to him, New India should take steps toward digitalization where we do transactions with our electronic device ie initiation towards cashless India which create new jobs, if I am talking about communication, now a day if anyone wants to contact the people around the world they can do easily in second, if I am talking about economically stability of the nation, I must mention here that cashless India reduces the chances of corruption and also terrorism. Due to digitalization in every sector creates a lot of jobs opportunities which added value towards economical stability.

Last but not the least, I must mention in such pandemic during lockdown when everybody is in their home, the initiation of work from home and online classes for students has been taken successfully, this is nothing but due to initiation towards digitalization. So here we see every aged people of every sector are benefited with the tag called digital India.

Good evening,

Prime Minister Narendra Modi vision of Digital India will bolster usage of technology and awarness. The modern India, digital India campaign is very beneficial to all section of society. I agree digitization plays important role in today's day to day life. Now, we can order meal, book cab, buy groceries, send gifts and money to family and friends even from another country through single click on mobile phones like a magic spell.

Digitization renders easy payments of house bills, phone bills, income taxes, and save time and energy especially in overpopulated countries like India for smooth working of organization. It plays crucial role in reducing corruptions, helps in keeping transparency of income and quick allocation of gov. Funds through adhaar link policy. Burglary is also reduced to a limit, as no need to keep cash at homes for basic needs. In an emergency now medicines which is not available nearby, can be ordered and payments can be made online. Promotes education, even small cities can access all books through online portal and e-transaction renders the fee payment for competitive exams. Digitization touches every sector and make the life simplier through its different branches. But we need to be alert and take safety measures against cyber crimes.

Digitalisation is a good approach for citizens of our country.

Digital India initiative by the PM, was well received by many top tech companies in Silicon Valley. Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook has invested in providing Internet to rural areas. Similarly, Google has created a new initiative of providing Internet access at railway stations across the country. We all must have read about the recent article on Newspaper that a railway worker had cracked a civil service exam, just by watching videos on YouTube. Many VC funds have invested in Indian startups, which encourages the Indian youth to pursue the Entrepreneurial path, which in turn creates more job opportunities for other Indians.

1. It reduces time and standing in a long queue.
2. One can book a ticket online by apps like irctc and uts.
3. Transparency and monitors black money.
4. As today nearly 65% of people have access to the internet so it becomes easy for transferring money by e-services provided by all banks instead of going to bank or atm.
5. It helps to save the environment By saving paper.
6. It is very useful for students who are unable to buy costly books.

But it has one demerit its easy for hackers if awareness among masses about cybercrime is not sufficient but conventional robbery and theft reduces.

According to my perspective, Digital India was a boon to the Indian economy but at the same time, it had several disadvantages also.

First, talking about the positive pursuit of digitalisation, the problem of theft has declined, corruption reduced at a somewhat lower level, education system enhanced and the most beneficiary segment was the banking system. Hassle-free banking was one of the dreams of Indians a few years ago. This came true with the advent of digitalisation. Now no long queues are seen, no dominance of employees is tolerated as everything is done from your smartphone itself.

Now talking about its disadvantages, Digital India is not meant for weaker sections of society as most of the people belonging to lower poor class still don't have smartphones, due to which they can't use this method of paying money online. The second issue is, in India the literacy rate is still not so boosted, hence many people still suffer from the problem of understanding the methodology. The last issue which made digitalisation a problem for most of the Indians was working Internet connections. Many times your mobile does not have a valid data pack due to which you suffer there. Hence to conclude, according to me digital India had both positive as well as negative sides.

Hello everyone, we are here to discuss the topic digital India.

If I talk about this, It is very useful to every individual across the nation even for illiterate also. I know some of you would think that how could it become useful to everyone? The main aim to implement this system in our country is to put the first step towards digitalisation, to avoid black money and to get proper tax from citizens and to relax citizens. People don't need to step out from their home, suppose banking system we have internet banking to do transactions, UPI's are very easy to use. I know every one of you aware of a money order from Indian Post. Usually who gets money order is retired persons, they use to get a monthly pension. In order to money order, nowadays they are getting their pensions directly into their bank accounts. I hope digitalization is going on across the nation and it is very useful to each and every individual even they are illiterate. The final conclusion of our topic is if anyone who doesn't know about digital payments, they should learn and get the information from their family I mean to say son/daughter. I know in every house there would be one educated person. The govt of India should revise its laws and make it very strict in order to avoid online scams.

Digital India is beneficial to all the sectors of the society if we talk about the IT sector of industries it creates an opportunity to provide more jobs so as to hire workers to work smartly which give the benefit of making people skilled.

In business, it is beneficial in the sense that a businessperson can easily recognize about the demand of product because all the work are done digitally and we can have feedback and the customer is free to reply truthfully.

When we talk about office people professionals they are so much busy in their professional life that they dnt hav much time to pay off their electricity bills even sumtimes the urgent cash is needed by the family members and it bcums impossible to go to bank And transfer money by dealing with digital indi we can send our cash to the desired place in jst a click.

During the time of demonitizatiom when cash was absent from the market, many of the illiterate people hav also learn to work digitally so it helps them to get updated.

Moreover, it would help a country from which we belong.

To grow.
To reduce corruption.
To reduce crime of stealing.
To reduce the rate of unskilled people in our country that all I don't think getting updated digitally would harm us but definitely it would profit to us.

The world is transforming at an alarmingly high rate. The present day human lifestyle is largely impacted by technology. So, Digital India going to uplift the standard of living. This reflects the country's level of technology inhabitation.

In simple Digital India vision is to do transactions and money-related services through internet. This can be achieved with Laptops, Computers, Smartphones etc. In mere recent many mobile applications are designed to make digital transactions such as Paytm, Phone Pe, Bhim, Tez etc.

The main aim of the Digitalization is to spread its roots to each corner of the country so as to get hands-on technology to every person of the nation. This helps people to understand the scenario of the Country in Political, Social, Cultural streams in a broader sense.

Apart, people can make quicker transactions, go cashless anywhere, the country's economy increases as result technology development and implementation takes greater pace.

When we introspect 'Whom does it benefit'. It's been largely concentrated in places where smartphone and computer usage is high. Urban areas witness higher percentage than rural grounds. Proper advertisement strategy and training centre's in these places will have better scope to reach Digitalization.

Digital India is a campaign launch by Indian Government on 1st july, 2015. Digital India consists of three main components: the development of secure digital infrastructure, delivering government services digitally, and universal digital literacy. I think it is beneficial to all of us because:

1. If we want a small amount of money, we have to wait in a queue for a long time, but now through the digital system we purchase it quickly.

2. As we know the internet is available to all of us nowadays, it is easy to control our account with safety.

3. Digital Locker facility will help citizens to digitally store their important documents like PAN card, passport, mark sheets and degree certificates. Digital Locker will provide secure access to Government-issued documents. It uses authenticity services provided by Aadhaar. It is aimed at eliminating the use of physical documents and enables the sharing of verified electronic documents across government agencies.

4. Nowadays digital sign is a common thing, so we will not wait for the approval.

5. Not only rich people but also poor rural people get the benefits, as an example: in a tea stall a common problem is changes, but nowadays one can pay the money through an app by scanning the barcode in a tea stall.

Firstly, as the name suggests, digital India refers to connecting the India digitally by means of internet. It is due to this concept there has been a great change in the lifestyle of majority of people, saving their both money and time.

It can be observed that earlier people had to stand for hours in queues to do all the transactions related to banks, bills etc. , but due the encouragement of cashless transactions now a days, which is a gift of digital India concept, we are just a click away from these transactions saving both our time and energy. Along with this, it has also helped students a lot, due to online education portals like SWAYAM the students can acess the course they are interested in with just a click. Another advantage of digitization in India is the reach of common people to the various e-commerce sites providing them a variety of deals thus eliminating the headache of going to market for every small cause.

But there's still some drawbacks of this concept, many people who are not well aware are becoming a victim of frauds and other cyber crimes incidents. Thus the government need to organize welfare programs to aware the people of such things to gain the full trust of people towards digitizing India and make it completely successful.

Digital India! The simple definition is the transfer of data from pages to digital form. Nowadays We live in this developing country "INDIA" where we have all diversities and with that our respected Prime minister Narendra Modi added one more thing to make India developing to develop!

As I talk about the benefits, The benefits are all ours now A person living in any village can access data from home like using the apps which access the details! As I'm a college student living in other cities which is far home away and I want some money to spend in any of my needs my mom or dad can easily send me money using *Phonepee or Google pay app* that's called digital India.

Some demerits of digital India:

Nowadays People have that much engaged with their online life that they can not do anything or go somewhere to get something to eat or other, they easily open the apps and order it. It is good but The Major impact is on the health of people. According to 2016-17 survey, people are suffering from *Obesity* problem because they don't go outside or make their body to lose some calories. At last, digital India is a good way but people have to understand or maintain their private plus online life so they can live a better lifestyle for being healthier.

Thanks.
