In my opinion, digital India is a great initiative taken by our government.

It beneficial by following ways.

1-We can apply online PAN card, open account. Within a second the only Aadhaar is required.

2-We can take appointment from any government hospital and pay to fill online.

3- We can transfer money within a second.

But as we know India is a country of the village and if we want to digital India is more beneficial then first digitalize our village.

Thank you.

Digital India prog was accepted on 20th Aug 2014 and was launched by PM Narendra Modi on 1st July 2015.

Definately It was launched so that the common people as well as people living in villages should get benifited from Digital India initiative.

1) One of the main initiative was National optic fiber network to connect to connect 2. 5 lakh gram panchayat through brodband net connection.

2) Digital Locker was introduceed by Govt which was used to save all documents safely in cloud. Just like the recent initative by Maharastra govt to provide digital 7/12 sath barah recipts of land which can be easily viewed online.

3) Many online courses are been provided through SWAYAM portal which students can view from anywhere.

4) People can now pay their Electricity bills, Tax, Recharges online which they have to do earlier by standing in long crowded lines.

5) As more and more things are done digitally less ad less paper is been used which saves trees from deforestation.

6) Online transaction can be trackable due to which money laundering can be controlled.

7) DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) in case of rations, any farm subsidies, eliminates the middlemen.

Hello everyone, the benefit is a major concern to people who introduce or finds it. The first benefits go to the companies involved in it. Then it comes over to the people like saving time . And etc. There's a business logic in everything or activity which is being involved in our day to day activities. So from my point of view, the major benefits go for the corporates.

In my opinion, digital India is one off the greatest initiative was taken by India in past 4 years, its helped everyone in one or the other way. One of the greatest advantages is the usege of paytm, Tez. Etc apps to send the amount directly to the account, and many other bill payments, which will save time.

Digital India is not beneficial. Until people are not educated. Firstly, the government should work on the education system in the place of digital India.

Digital India is very beneficial for our country and people because it saves our time with the help of this we do all our work with the phone and computer. In digital life, we pay our bill and book the bus, train with the help of the app like Paytm and phone pay without stand in lines for doing this type of works. But on the other hand, digital India is not good for some because by this unemployment is increasing and in digital India spreading more in urban areas compared to rural areas because they have use internet but they do not know how to use the internet and do such type of works that save our time. So, finally, I believe that digital India is good. And bad also because many peoples did not know about digital India.

Thanks.

Digital India refers to connecting the whole country with the help of internet.

Digitalisation is good in many ways but in a country like ours, it has its own demerits.

First coming to the merits of the Digitalisation.

1. Common people are now no longer required to stand up in queues for long hours for the transaction of their money.
2. Money transfer becomes very easy.
3. E-commerce sites have made the daily needs of household available easily.
4. Programs like SYAWAM helps the students to study different things in just one click.
5. It reduces the use of paper and hence we do not need any currencies to be printed which will help our economy.
6. Apps like DIGILOCKER helps us to keep the documents safe with us.
7. Accessing bank accounts becomes easy.

There are certain de-merits of digitalisation.

1. Implementation was not good.
2. India is a country where about half of the population lives in villages. Awareness campaigns should be organised for them before introducing the digitalisation.
3. Cyber fraud.
4. Network connectivity in rural areas.
5. Digital illiteracy.

If considered as a whole country the implementation was not good because if digital illiteracy in our country.

In my opinion, the digital India are working with both have some advantage and disadvantage because in the rural area everybody doesn't know about the internet and digital payment because of lack of knowledge which means they don't know how they will use these type of facility. So firstly the government should try to give all basic facility to them, then the digital India plan will be successful 100%. And another hand we know that urban area people are using this facility very well as everybody mentation on their opinion. And on other things, I want to say that the cyber attack this will be more dangerous with related to our payment activity because our government were attached our Aaddhar card to every important field like a bank etc. Then if any cyber attack will happen then who will responsible for this. We should think everywhere, every field not only advantages because we know that anything will happen then they will have to side not one.

According to me, digital India is a good initiative taken by the government of India but somewhere we are laking to build a strong foundation for the same. And this is the reason because of which most of Indians still unable to take the benefits from it. Mostly in the rural area, people are still unaware of digitalization. No doubt digitalization has a positive impact on the living style of urban people. But according to me by excluding rural people we India will not be a digital country. For any development in the country, we just need to focus on the weaker section of the society. In addition, it's the responsibility of the government to avail a strong database security so that people will feel secure in contributing towards digital India through the cashless transaction.
