Digital India: Whom Does it Benefit?

Digital India has been the dream of our esteemed Prime minister and businessmen, whose reachability and importance has increased to a large extent amidst this pandemic, where people are more engrossed towards cashless payments. The idea of Digital India will benefit all the sections of society. If we talk about rural areas, the benefits will be primarily seen for education, since the availability of smartphones and good internet connection will help the children to grab opportunities which they usually loosed. The online presence of small scale businesses in these areas will also be increased which helps them to advertise and expand their businesses as well. Digital processes also benefit the urban people by reducing the time spent in various activities and increasing the efficiency of people in urban areas. Since the digital India idea is in its developing stage, it also increases the demand for tech people and creates a large number of opportunities as well. The current idea of Jio's 5G implementation has raised jobs for more than 50000 people in the country.

Hello everyone, according to my point of view, like a coin has both sides in the same manner everything thing has both merit and demerit. Now talking about digital India, first of all in this point of the stage we just can't imagine our lives without digitalization. In this pandemic situation, the new emerging technologies have helped a lot in many sectors. Studies are not getting hampered (has not come to complete halt) to some extent because of this, imagining ourselves 10 years back with such pandemic makes us feel so uneasy and discomfort. We could spend our time months after months seating at home just by using social media platforms with is a gift of this digitalization. This digitalization has helped a lot in banking, travelling food, grocery and just everywhere. It is hard to find any such place where you don't find them so there is no point of benefitting a few, it is a boon for all Indian citizens from a farmer to a doctor or astronauts.

But as said earlier everything is accompanied with its demerit too. Because of this digitalization piracy, conspiracy, malpractice, and cheating have extended to great heights which are a great cause of worry.

According to my point of view, Digitization has made a huge impact in today's condition (especially during this pandemic).

First, let me talk about its pros:

Taking the example of this pandemic conditions, Businesses have learned a lot and adapted according to their need using different platforms eg. You all can see how many businesses have come online and showcased themselves to full-fill customer needs such as groceries shops, medical services, vegetable and fruits etc.

Now let's Talk about its cons:

Adapting digitization is not possible for everyone as it requires proper education and other factors, for an example, we know that owner's of laundry shops, people who depend on their they are not educated, as a result, they get lost in the market.

I think, all you had made give points but I'd also like to add digital India word is just like a buzzword in these days and like everyone said it had replaced manual work now people become more aware regarding technology and student also took initiative to learn more and even many companies come with such technology that student can learn and clear their textbook concept with some gaming app or by visual learning like Byju's or lido learning app and many other apps are doing.

On the other side in today scenario many startups in education field are uprising their carrier and recently the government had also made changes in its policy (National Education Policy) in which student from 6th standard will be able to learn the coding so that student is Whitehat jr like companies provide online coding courses so that student can become aware regarding technology environment concept.

So, like in this way, I think Digital India is the great concept for all the age group person.

Thank you!

Everyone has their own valid points. I would like to add digital India is growing tremendously in this pandemic situation. For example, in this lockdown many people got benefited through online classes, work from home, network marketing, etc. This shows India is achieving digitalization in a very short interval of time. Though there are some cons like cheating, malpractice, online phishing has been increased I believe everything will get well soon through more security features in future.

Digital India is a dream for our honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. As the coin has two sides similarly everything has its merits and demerits. Digitalization has been benefiting us in many sectors in this pandemic. The sectors like Banking Transactions, Food deliveries, Online Study, Work from home and so many ways. Imagine this pandemic 10 years back, it seems that it would be uneasy and tough for us to survive without these facilities. We have the data about the viruses, its effects on the human body, and its medicines of earlier pandemic situations like Malaria, Swinflu, HIV, etc. We are using these data to find out the medicine for COVID-19. This is only possible with the help of developing technologies and the digital world. Many vaccines like Gam-COVID that is given by Russia for 1/2 phase COVID cases is one of the best example and hopefully we will be able to find out a proper vaccine very soon. Till then we can work and getting food deliveries in one call, we can talk to our family and friend this is such a boon for all of us. The demerits are only because of misuse of the data and technology and this is just because of some of the greedy people who want to get benefitted illegally in a criminal way. Piracy, Conspiracy, Hacking accounts, Cheating are such issues that need to be worked upon by developing some more strong technologies, and security should be provided to our data.

The fact about Digitalization or digital India is still a dream for many in the country. The government has declared digitalisation but where is the proper infrastructure for that. In this period of the pandemic when each and everyone is struggling and relying on online education only, there are many who are still struggling for getting proper connectivity for attending their online classes without any interruption.

I feel that the dream of making a country like India a digital one is much far away than our worthy Prime Minister think since everybody is not ready to accept things digitally. We all know that most of India's population is living in rural areas so they don't have access to basic amenities like internet, computers etc. So there will be a problem of implementing things. Moreover, those who reside in urban areas are also affected and inflicted. To prove this stance, I can take a recent example of colleges where most of the teachers didn't even bother to teach students online during this pandemic and students also didn't have resources. To appear for exams as well, there were some problems which students faced while uploading answer sheets and downloading question papers.

So in nutshell, India is far way behind to achieve the dream of Digital India and it will take to time to make a change.

DIGITALIZATION a dream of our honourable P.M.Modi. This was put a long time back. Peeping into past true digitalization started under the era of Rajiv Gandhi who had pioneered and introduced computer and began this tech era.

But we are lagging so far, it has been almost 50 years still we are dragging for digital India.

A question arises will it ever become possible in a country like India. As every coin has two sides the challenge also had. In this pandemic, all of us have undergone multiple difficulties but somewhere it has been reduced. And credit goes to step towards Digital India. We have been able to recognize the deeds done by our doctors, nurses, police officers, cleanliness workers. All have done their part extraordinarily in this critical situation.

During this time also student are able to continue their studies undoubtedly they might have to face some issue but it has been lessened due to this. Our learning system has transformed completely and including both teacher and students become adaptive. If digitalization were not there education system will be at a halt for an indefinite time. Being optimistic COVID 19 has opened various opportunities to learn at home, work from home and all this is performed only because many of us are becoming techno-savvy. Still, it required some more time to reach at rural area but definitely it will be possible soon.

All our belief has been revolutionized we are not waiting for things when will will as usual.

We have started and learned from this difficulties also that stay going.

One can say digital means doing more work in less time. As everyone is aware how our country is getting digitized day by day which is such an amazing thing Earlier it was all offline work, as an example standing in queue for any government related work, paper work in offices, etc. So as our country is moving towards digital, there is less burden on people i.e. one can take the benefits such as online shopping, internet banking, online business, online study, online dance classes and many more. In this covid19 pandemic, our country is moving towards digital as online class for schools and colleges has been started, exams are conducted online which shows our study is not much affected by the pandemic otherwise our country has gone 10 years back if this digital India initiative has not been taken. Though there are difficulties faced by rural people but its not permanent. By the time this will also be solved as our country moves towards digitialization.
