Hello everyone,
I think the digital India initiative is a great initiative taken by my government. Digital India not only focuses upon bank transaction but also it focuses upon some important apects like it helped students for study through SWAYAM app. It helped students to safe guard their marksheets n documents in digilocker, like cbse helped students of Kerla flood victims. Digital India helped people to get access to net connectivity through which they can transact money, they can book tickets, etc. Due to digital India initiative there will be transperacy in every field like gas subsidy direct comes in account, NETA app through which politicians can be rated. Like wise there are more applications that supports digital Indi, but to make it completely helpful we all need to be aware of using it for good work.

Hello everyone,
I think digital India has not benefitted anyone till now. The objectives of digital India programme are very good and beneficiary for nations development but the implementation was not done properly.
One of the main hurdles is digital literacy. Although the government had started many digital literacy programmes, they were not as successful as expected.
Next big hurdle is network connectivity. Even in this case government had started Bharat net programme in order to provide a high-speed broadband connection across all gram panchayats in India, the progress of this programme is proceeding at a very slow speed.
Lastly, I would like to say that, ONLY With proper implementation of a digital India programme, can we see digitalis action in our country.

Firstly, as the name suggests, digital India refers to connecting the India digitally by means of internet. It is due to this concept there has been a great change in the lifestyle of majority of people, saving their both money and time.
It can be observed that earlier people had to stand for hours in queues to do all the transactions related to banks, bills etc. , but due the encouragement of cashless transactions now a days, which is a gift of digital India concept, we are just a click away from these transactions saving both our time and energy. Along with this, it has also helped students a lot, due to online education portals like SWAYAM the students can acess the course they are interested in with just a click. Another advantage of digitization in India is the reach of common people to the various e-commerce sites providing them a variety of deals thus eliminating the headache of going to market for every small cause.
But there's still some drawbacks of this concept, many people who are not well aware are becoming a victim of frauds and other cyber crimes incidents. Thus the government need to organize welfare programs to aware the people of such things to gain the full trust of people towards digitizing India and make it completely successful.

I think digital India is a great initiative taken by our government. The name digital India itself describe digitalistion of India. There are many benefits of digitalization such as.
It helps in transfer of money without going to the bank, students can learn from their home by watching educational videos, it saves time like anyone can pay bill such as electricity bill or recharge of mobile phones, corruption can be controlled etc. It helps farmers in getting subsidiaries.
It also saves the resources being used for printing the new currency notes.
The main disadvantage of the digitalization is Cyber fraud.

As 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.

In my point of view, digital India is a good initiative taken by the Modi government, but still, it is not reachable to every reason of country. In our country, many schemes were launched but these schemes not implemented at the basic level, so the government should do some work towards awareness of digitalisation among people of our country so that they can use and get benefited by this scheme.

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.

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.

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.
