Digital India has been the dream of our esteemed Prime minister and businessmen, whose reachability and importance has increased to a large extent amidst this pandemic, where people are more engrossed towards cashless payments. The idea of Digital India will benefit all the sections of society. If we talk about rural areas, the benefits will be primarily seen for education, since the availability of smartphones and good internet connection will help the children to grab opportunities which they usually loosed. The online presence of small scale businesses in these areas will also be increased which helps them to advertise and expand their businesses as well. Digital processes also benefit the urban people by reducing the time spent in various activities and increasing the efficiency of people in urban areas. Since the digital India idea is in its developing stage, it also increases the demand for tech people and creates a large number of opportunities as well. The current idea of Jio's 5G implementation has raised jobs for more than 50000 people in the country.

It benefits to entire people and provides a lot of services towards people which have a Smartphone and internet. We can reduce our efforts and time to do work for a large time due to digitalization we can do payments and withdrawals money from the bank and we can transfer money from one person to another person within seconds. The usage of technology was increased and the literacy rate of the people also increased.

The merits are it will lead to growth in the economy due to an increase in GDP Percentage and implement new and advanced technology and provide services digitally.

Demerits are due to improved lack of technology like small scale sectors like rickshaw and auto driver's they can lose their employment due to advanced technology services like Ola, Uber, Rapido etc. And also small scale businesses like Supermarkets, and grocery shops can also loss their business due to online shopping platforms like amazon, BigBasket etc.

I can conclude; it is a boon as well as a curse depending on the growth of development and mindset of the intellectual person.

The topic itself says that it benefits India as it named digital India. All indians will be benefitted through it whether it is government or public.

1. Many online courses are available now a day also these courses are provided by government of India like SWAYAM.

2. Students get benefitted from it by getting or solving their problem by just a single click.

3. Study from home is possible now. No need of offline coachings. Now realtime coachings nd classes available which saves time nd money both.

4. E-commerce made life so easy. Now we shop from home, book tickets, hotels from home.

5 one transaction can be done. These all are just because of advancement of technology.

6. Government will get tax.

7. Now there is no gap between two different places. One connect another by digital media anywhere anytime.

8. Government also can express and say anything to public directly.

9. All updation about world is also a virtue.

10. Last but not least, paper use will be lessen so tree cutting will be less nd hence we will live in a fresh nd good environment.

Digital India is an good intiative to develop India, but practically speaking it may not be 100% digitialised as every one of us know the rural proportion is more in our country and moreover if we want our country to be digitialised as every one said that we have to make all payments through online for that everyone should have smartphone where in rural area many don't have smartphones and also they know only to use the basic set so it will be difficult for rural people to make online payments not only in rural area even in urban area they are many street vendors who are living their life through doing business on streets so it will be problematic for them too, and also everyone should have bank account even though PM Modi has introduced Jandan Yojana but still many rural people don't have their bank account and also people who has bank Account many of them don't know how to use it. Therefore we have to take everyone into consideration before making India digitialised, as per my opinion it can be digitialised only to some extent and not completely.

Digital India is benefiting all the public who are aware of it and also benefiting the government of India.

All the public who have access to the cellphone and internet can now transact anytime anywhere to anyone.

Linking Adhaar is simplifying the process of providing various government schemes to the consumer directly without involvement of the third party making it a direct government to public contact. Students, youth, businessmen are mostly benefited under digital India.

Government is benefited as there is reduction in cash circulation in the market and there is more money in the system.

Bhim, google pay, paytm and other applications have simplified the transaction process and and may be doing more as it is a continous process.

And I think may be there a disadvantage of it but there is a problem in handling it.

As the major concern comes 1st is data privacy and security.

2nd is hacking.

India is a huge market of data consumption so there need to be a proper secure data storage and so problems need to be curved in interest of the public.

First of all, the idea of digital India is commendable. It will change the many things around us. The importance of digitalisation has been experienced by each and everyone in this pandemic. It made all money transactions very easy. Literally, at our fingertips, we can access most of the information in the world. This digitalisation has a great impact on the economy even in this pandemic.

Digitalisation made our efforts easy and saved our precious time. It almost made paperlessly. Most of the IT industries, universities, schools helping their people to gain knowledge and also contributing to the nation's economy.

But there many things that need to be focused. Since many villagers don't have proper internet services, lack of knowledge about technology. So they are chances that some frauds may occur. However, the initiative of digitalising India will definitely thrive in the coming years since the literacy rate is increasing and almost everyone is using smartphone. Even broadcasting servicers are also providing internet in some areas nowadays.

Each and every person in the country has to get benefits from the digitalization either in form of cashless transaction, transparency in the working system in which we live, less corruption in the government authorities, more jobs in the IT sectors, even a common person can now submitting their online bills, can get appointment from a doctor by sitting at their home even now days a person can get the information about their related field job by sitting their home and can apply from their home, a mother can see his son which situated at abroad but there is always some pros and cons in every system. The digitalization may increase cybercrime even a social networking site like facebook can use their customers information just the case which is charge on Mark Zuckerberg for providing their customer information to the e-commerce website but the advantages of digitalization is more its disadvantages so the conclusion is the digitalization is the need of every nation as the nation is more digitalize it is making their way to the developed countries.

Hi everyone, my name is Biswanath Kumar.

The Digital India program is initiated by our prime minister Narendra modi. In this universe, everything has advantages on one side and disadvantages on the other side. Similarly, digital India has some advantages. Like in this pandemic time digital things help us a lot. Without this, we would not be able to do our things done. Like for students, it helped to continue the education, it also helped to reduce the efforts which were made by most of us in prepandemic time by standing in a long queue ahead of the bank, for gas, to pay the electricity bill, etc. But this pandemic applied break on these things even then we were able to continue our work from home, and all things get done with the help of digital India programe.

Now there are some disadvantages too. Like the people who don't know how to use this digital thing, they become the victims of fraud and the number of fraudulent cases has increased.

But this digital India helped a lot to overcome this pandemic by continuing our work.

Thank you.

Digitalisation, from my perspective, digital India is one of the great initiative taken by the government. By going digital, it saves our time.

It has several benefits like.

1. Let take an example, for withdrawing a small amount of money from our account, we had to stay in a long queue, but now we can do that in a few seconds.

2. Not only digital India is helping rich people but also poor, now a tea seller also has phone pay and paytm barcode for transactions. Even a ten-rupee can also be directly transferred into his account.

3. Digital India made the people aware of technology, a few years back there were only a few people who knew about online shopping, online delivery foods app but now every second person is taking the advantage of that.

4. It also increases the employment chances, people show their talents on Youtube and other social media and they got famous also they are earning lot of money.

So in my view, digitalisation is a big change in Indian history and it has a disadvantage but according to me it has more advantages.
