Digital India is a campaign launched by our honourable Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi on 1st July 2015. The main motto of this initiative is "Power to Empower". This initiative aims to make available all the government services digitally with improved online infrastructure. The main of the Indian government is to provide high internet connectivity to rural areas.

Digital India campaign act as an enabler to many schemes such as StartUp India, Bharat Net, Make In India and many more. It aims to empower the citizens of India in the field of technology.

If we talk about whom Digital India benefits, it is proved to be beneficial for all of us in every field. Some of the initiatives of this campaign are e-governance, e-learning, e-healthcare, online transactions, digital attendances of government employees, Umang, Mygov and many more.

Yet, there are some challenges to it. Some of them are that there is a need of a large number of cybersecurity experts to monitor and check on the growing digital crime, there are some people who are illiterate, there are some people who are not in touch with technology and there could be many more challenges.

I am grateful for having an opportunity to share my thoughts on the topic of digitalisation and to whom it benefits.

Firstly, I think digitalisation has made life easier for everyone from transferring to money to one another without any burdens of carrying our wallet and it is easy to send money in just a click. Digitalisation has also benefited people to promote their business by selling their products through many shopping platforms. Nowadays everyone has a smartphone which can be used to easily search and check for reviews to buy their desired product. Digitalisation played a vital role during the COVID-19 pandemic when people could travel nowhere sitting in their homes, and digitalisation enabled them to order food groceries and medicines from their place. It has also helped students to continue their classes online despite schools being closed. But in certain ways digital India initiative has its one drawback of cyber crimes such as bank account details being misused, harassment, etc, It could be prevented if the government strengthened cyber security and ensured people that their information is safe and privacy is being maintained.

Digital India is a major step towards saying bye bye to the long lines and getting information in hands just a click away. This is a good way of being informed and hence eradicates the mediator who are often required to be bribed in order to get information. The three major goals of digitalization of India include:

1) Development of a secured and stable online infrastructure.
2) Delivering government services digitally.
3) Achieving universal digital literacy.

Henceforth, the following communities will benefit from digitalization:

- The people living in rural areas will get internet connectivity and along with training which can help them to keep updated with monsoon forecast, government policies, etc.

- People living in crowded cities where they have to wait in long lines to get their work done.

- Indian government because of the access to online free resources that can help people establish business and learn new things ultimately catalysing economic growth.

- MNC's and other companies who sell their product through online shopping sites like Amazon.

Hence, digitalisation is a great step toward the development of modern India.

Hello everyone, This is a good or common topic nowadays that is digital India. It's a good platform in India to develop in the world. It is launched by our Prime minister Narender Modi to develop the nation as well as literate the people in rural areas. It is too easy nowadays whatever we do like online shopping, B2C, B2B, online payment ie. Net banking, Apps are available in every bank. If we booked a movie ticket and order food we use digitally ie online transactions with the help of debit card, credit card, paytm, mobiwiki, phonepe etc. And one more advantage is to if we pay through some app, online we gave a cash back of some amount and we do not carry huge cash on our pocket. We no need to go outside and hire a taxi. It is easy to book an ola, uber by online and pay the online.

In a rural area, digital India helps with Jio Telecom it give to poor people internet in low price or person literate and uses online transactions or use the internet. It is a boom period of India to develop a good GDP growth.

But India has a disadvantage digital India the hacker's problem, server down. But this problem also shorted coming soon.

Thanks.

Digital India benefits to each and every section of society.

Right from the childhood children get an education in digital format which not only results in quick learning but also it makes the learning long lasting.

For youths, it benefits them by connecting to rest of world, makes their work easier, previously when People have to apply for any application or identity card he has to wait and have no idea about the action that has been taken, but now one can easily track one's application easily in his tip.

For old age pensioners previously they needed to give proof of their existence (being alive) by manually going to the office each and every time but now just on one click that task made easy.

For a service personnel, he needs to do much paperwork by hand and it takes a lot of time for similar kind of work again and again but with the introduction of the digital format, the work becomes less hectic and also it increases the efficiency.

For students they now need not waste time in question rather they can do most of the work online and utilise their precious time.

So, it can be say that Digital India will benefit INDIA.

Hello friends,

Today, the DIGITAL INDIA scheme has been highly encrypted and these can not be used even who maintains the whole database of banking, shopping, travelling history of anyone, It can not be overwritten by someone even who can expert in this field.

Nowadays technologies are grown exponentially likewise that increasing crime history.

If we resolve one crime, another large crime will be raised.

And so many even parents couldn't know about technologies are used by their child. They are said to parents, I am studying the subject only, couldn't do any immoral activities, when parents asked to show me your phone or explain it what you doing that, They say you can not understand what I am doing. Then parents don't ask anymore to that child, they would carry on their housework or office work.

Please do watch their children, monitor 24/7 like an eagle-eye to protect them. Then using a parental app to prevent from doing immoral activities did by your children, If your ward using whatever there it will show in the brief list.

Kindly we should save the children from criminal activities and other unauthorized activities.

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.

Hello Everyone.

My point of view is that digitalization has two face one is an advantage and the second is disadvantage, so firstly we talk about advantages. With the help of digitalization, we have a large platform to grow up, for students, it's very helpful to understand many things we can use Google with just one click we know everything about the world. Due to mobile we can use shopping app, social media and we can negotiate with many peoples and we can connect to anyone worldwide through video call in just one minute. And because of covid-19, we had face any disaster, the government took strict steps and announced lockdown nevertheless people work from home with the reliance of digitalization and earn money.

In view of digitalization we can reduce crime we can just record every incident and catch the thief even we have a women helpline number if any women face trouble she can just call the police.

On the other hand, there are some disadvantage of digitalization first is network issue in rural areas and the second is misuses of the internet like cyber cafe crimes.

Overall Digitalization is very helpful for us.

Hello everyone,

This is Rahul and today's topic is - Digital India (whom does it benefit?).

Digital India is one of the most powerful way to connect anyone. Everything is digitalization in India is make happier from everyone. It is easy to use and get secure but you have to protect to the scammers. Digital India make the work very efficient and saves the lots of time If you have to pay some bills you stand on huge queues to pay bills. Online payments like phone pay, Paytm, Google pay they get very secure payments but some people has still to think these payments are not secure.

In covid19, the current situation the digital India makes really helpful every work is done by home and still it was working. Online education is really was very helpful for every student in pandemic. In lockdown there are many people are getting digital and later on it teaches to other people to get digital. At last I would to say that if you know about digital technology then you must to teach them or guide them those who are not using this technology because day by day everything is getting to be digital and they are really helpful.

Digital India a screnaio which we image as the everything on net quick and steady. There are many advantages of digital India as it will create employment; increase in literacy rate ; increase in the economy ; transparency in goverment functioning; decrease in corruption; quick judgement in the law sector and increase in women empowerment as the online business may be promoted by women; but for a digital India we need to have a system where such things can be established. Today no doubt one third population of India have mobile phone and of which 75% have internet. But what about the remaining people. People of old age and ancient time are not capable to handle the mobile system and anroid phone how the goverment will train them? net neturality proposal is rejected by major net providers at such case will it be able for the people to use the net at the rate the company is provided there may also be problem of network or no range in many areas at that time people may suffer some loss. Thus before the proposal of digital India a need for net neutrality and a goverment net connection accesible to all is needed.
