Hello friends,

According to my point, the digital India scheme is the best way to develop our India. Any payments can be easily paid using this scheme like electricity bills, transfer amount from one person to another person. Before this, we create awareness to illiterate people these people don't know how to do pay using digitally they don't know how to handle the phone. Mainly our motto is that we will say our future kids India is not a developing country it is a developed country.

For every thing, there will be some advantages and disadvantages. Let's discuss some disadvantages of digital India:.

1. Small retailers in India deal only with cash and have not been able to invest in the digital infrastructure.
2. Very high amount (funds) is required to implement digital India plan.
3. Uneducated people cannot able to understand.
4. Though software can be developed for this, yet the software can be easily hacked.
5. Digital Communication has completely ignored the human touch and personal touch cannot be established.
6. The establishment of Digital Communication causes degradation of the environment in some cases. "Electronic waste" is an example.
7. The vibes given out by the telephone and cell phone towers are so strong that they can kill small birds. In fact, the common sparrow has vanished due to so many towers coming up as the vibrations hit them on the head.
8. Higher power consumption is required for digitalization.

Thanks.

The main aim of digital India is to make transparency in the implementation of government schemes and to spread awareness about welfare schemes. And to make India as a competitor to well-developed economies.

But most of the people in India didn't have internet knowledge though they are educated. So digital India benefits people who are literate in internet knowledge.

So, the first government has to create awareness among people about internet banking and so on.

Hello friends.

As we all know, India is in the 2nd rank of the highest user of the internet overworld. But they don't know the proper knowledge about internet. Fact also states that more then 85 % internet user in India don't know how to send message in gmail and don't know to how to text through it. First government should do some awareness program in the remote areas all over India.

On 20 Aug 2014 Digital India Program was accepted by the Union cabinet. And It was launched on 1 July 2015.

Our Digital target was.

1) 2 & half lakh villages will be connected by Broadband connectivity till 2019.
2)4 lakh public internet broadband will be.
3) 2 & half lakh wifi, a hotspot in schools and in University will be.

But What problems are there-.

1)optical fibre is not spreading as it was decided before. Only 500 km till it is spreading but it was decided with 30 thousand km.

2) There is a deficiency of 2 Lakh Telecom towers.

But if our this project will complete then it will be Beneficial for every citizen will help in paying bills, dish TV bill, cashless transaction, e-education and many more uncountable benefits are there.

As my point of view, Digital India is only benificial for who are educated and good knowledege about digital technology. The rural area is unaffected by this scheme because of illiterate. It can be improved by start awerness programme and the goverment should have to work on control cyber security.

Appreciating digital India is a smart move for every purpose, it works on a paperless platform which is more secure and legit. Truly prove of deals between anyone, and as being paperless it directly help to our environment or we can say that the rate of cutting down of trees will decrease.

It's a Cashless and immediate transaction perform digitally in a couple of minutes.

And its disadvantage is totally depended upon the user weather he\she has activated the security levels/polices for keeping them away from fraud or hackers.

Hello friends.

In this technologically advanced world where we all are moving towards a completely digitalised platform, Digital India is a very good initiative taken by our government.

Under this campaign many steps were taken such as an application was launched named as UMANG (Unified Mobile Application for New Age Governance) through this scheme thousands of state and central government schemes were accessible to all in multi languages. Due to this campaign e-commerce, e- banking, e-education were promoted. This campaign is getting a positive response and India had become top in data usage.

Now the question arises who will be benefited? The success of this campaign is far ahead because 30% of countries population has only accessed to internet services. But the entire population will be benefited since an awareness campaign is being led by PGMDisha. Overall it is a very good initiative.

Digital India is an absolutely a big step towards making India smarter and stand among all its competitors in the field of technology. It aims to make life of every people across globe easier. With cashless transaction we don't need to worry about having cash in our pockets all the time. You can just easily paytm or do online transaction and enjoy services at your hand. The thing is that we have some robust transaction systems which are able to to do transfer amount from our bank accounts directly and safely. But only if these systems assure quality services without any breach in security. Otherwise it would make people's life troublesome. They can't play with people's trust. So if our government is taking a responsibility of providing secured applications it would definitely be a boon. Moreover people from all areas first be educated and awareness programme must be organized to help people use of this cool facility. If each n every person can access or enjoy the services made for them, then only India will be smarter.
