Hello friends,

As all give their views about the discussion topic 'digital India'. Actually, every initiative has some merits and demerits also so, digital India also has merits and demerits and they are as follows.

Merits.

1. Peoples do smart work rather than hard work (use of the internet).
2. Availabilities of things in villages also (online shopping).
3. Information and news easily spread with the help of social networking.
4. Almost everything becomes transparent.
5. Ant many more merits.

Demerits.

1. The security issue is the main demerits of digital India, everything is in a cloud so it is easily accessed by the hackers.

The topic name, digital India is beneficial all. Digital means connecting the things with by using the internet. It beneficial by following ways.

1. We don't have a stand in line for banking work.
2. Students can easily apply for any courses.
3. We can also book the tickets for movies, travels easily. Etc.

But I think digital India is more beneficial for the urban area rather than rural area. Because nowadays in a rural area all people use the internet but they don't know how to use it for reducing their work. So the government should manage some workshop for this people so that they can get proper knowledge about digital India.

Digital India was launched by the PM of India Narendra Modi on 1 July 2015 with an objective of connecting rural areas with high" speed internet network and improving digital literacy. The vision of Digital India programme is inclusive growth in areas of electronic services, products, manufacturing and job opportunities.

Its motto is "power to impower".

Digital India: initiated by the prime minister of India on 1st July 2015, which comes under the ministry of electronics and information technology, and suggested or under surveillance of Ravishankar Prasad and SS Ahluwaliya, in digital India companion 224. 5 lakh crore invested by top companies CEO.

This companion was introduced for making India crime and corruption free and to connect colleges directly to the government and to spread the government's scheme and work progress and to reach to the people,

The government of India have introduced a lot of apps for transaction or banking, for complaint, for documents, etc. And now, Under Pradhanmantri Digital Saksharta Abhiyan, government's officers are teaching the peoples from a village about digital India and how to take benefits of it by using apps.

1: Making India a superpower in the world and empowering India to become a developed country from a developing country.
2: Internet user's increased by about 500 million as of April 2017.
3: Job creation:- 1. 7 crore direct jobs and 8.5 crores indirect job provided under digital India companion in BPO and many other Fields.
4: by installing WIFI and providing Hotspot can be used in the education system to upgrade it.
5: the ability to boost small and big business.
6:due to low use of paper and vehicles we are saving the environment.

Demerits:-.

1: India is not fully digitalized, it is semi-digital country.
2:due to low or lack of network, difficult to use apps and chances of failure.
3: can use it for spying someone by creating an app, someone can hear our conversation without doing anything in our phone, by activation of the microphone without coming in our knowledge.
4: privacy and security are the main issues.
5: the government must have to focus on water and oil/fuel related problem instead of making India digital because water and oil are in regular use.
6: making people effortless and lazy, which increases or leads to bad health.
7: by using the internet we are increasing radiation which is not good for the environment and also for the children or people.

Conclusion:

Digital India is a huge step toward making India a superpower and transportation from developing country to developed country, but the government have to focus on ground level problems which directly related to every people especially middle class and poor people.

Yes, digital India is a very nice approach given by the Indian government. Digital means that work can done without paper and no longer time.

In my point of view, digitalization means converting all forms of transactions into a single platform through a digital process which will eradicate so many problems. It will optimize the time and utilize those time for some other activities.

Through digitalization, corruption will be eradicated and the data will be get secured through the digital process.

The government will take an initiative to make awareness for the people who are in rural areas and illiterature people so the problem can be resolved.

Digitalization means digitizing everything that can be digitized. According to me it is beneficial, as it will help our country to move from developing zone to developed zone.

Advantages:.

1. No need to waste our time, by standing in long queues waiting for our chance to make transaction in banks. We can do that sitting at home, it will just be a click away and will hardly take few minutes.

2. All transaction will be cashless and the problem of change that exist every now and then will not exist in the future.

3. Sitting at home we can book flight tickets, train tickets, movie tickets.

4. There will be no need to visit every shop while shopping, we can sit at home and have access to the websites of various shops and can have a look at variety of options.

5. Criminal activities and corruption will be reduced to a very large extent because all the transactions get recorded in database and there is no risk of losing data.

6. Because of digitalization use of paper will be reduced to a very large extent and hence deforestation will also be reduced.

Some people say it is not for those people who are not educated but that problem can be solved if government conducts programs to teach those people how to access the system.

Year by year number of educated people in our country is increasing and most probably in the future almost everyone will be educated.

So, Digitalization is needed. It is Important that uneducated and rural people should be given a chance to develop or else how are they going to develop.

Yes, we'll be benefited with digital process. That means nowadays the currency notes carrying is a big problem because when we carrying the money thieves may steal the money. So, digital makes everything easy for the people. And one more thing is by using this digital process, purchasing and money transferring is very easy.

And this digitalization is made every Indian to be digitalized. The people need to be changed according to the technology because technology is increasing day by day. Then only we can survive in this digital world.

There are some advantage and disadvantage in this, if someone doesn't know about the digital process that is in money taking and transferring, may have a chance to steal the money. People are not fitting to the technology.

So, we need to look forward to making India a digital world without any errors.

I think this is a very great project because digitalization is more important for any country to aware people from the internet, news, money transfer, online shopping etc. So this is so good to India for became a growing country.
