Digital India🇮🇳 is a great step by our respected PM. A few years back, digital platforms were considered as threats. Although there is a chance of cybercrime, it has created a huge impact. PM's "Go Cashless" was a master stroke. We don't need to carry cash anymore. The Telecom company Jio made whole India active on digital platforms. Now Every document can be saved in digital lockers safely. India is approaching the E-learning system now. If children are kept well away from this then its definitely a benefit.

The concept of digital India brings very important benefits to the people itself. Ranging from online ticket booking to online money transactions. It has made a lot of stuff easier for people. Now people don't have to wait in a queue to pay their electricity bills, phone bills, bills at the grocery and the list go on. No doubt it is ultimately benefiting people.

Our prime minister Modi brought a good concept to make India digital. With the help of digitalization, people can easily transfer their money on a person to another person with the help of internet along with this people can easily download government forms or any other forms through online as well as they can pay government bills like electric bill water bill tax, etc, Disadvantage is in India most are uneducated especially from a rural area they don't know how to transfer money online.

I am happy to share my thought on Digital India.

First of all, in this modern India digital India is the key to the development of our country and will made India as a superpower in the world.

Due to digital INDIA, we can save our time, the human error should be minimized.

For example.

1. In the banking sector, we should not stay for an hour in the queue for cash withdrawal. We can transfer money from home.
2. In health care due to digitalization testing can be done easily.
3. We can order grocery, food online from a different partner.
4. Most important people got a different kind of jobs and more.

As a coin has 2 different sides digital India has some cons like the threat of data privacy, crime, social disconnect.

So we are dealing with digital India good side to make India a global power.

Thanks.

Digital India, the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear this word is making digitalize almost every possible thing available be it a business or. , oh wait for everything nowadays is business.

Coming to benefits both government as well as people have equal benefits for people the life becomes much more easier as everything will be done in just a few clicks.

But to attain complete digitalization society needs to wait for at least 10 more years (apprx).

The only question that pop up is security, keeping in the mind the amount of cyber crimes that is getting registered one would probably think to opt out from the service.

If India wants to be completely digital then govt should be LOYAL and TRUSTWORTHY.

GOVT might INDIRECTLY make money from the acquired DATA that is being collected from the people.

"Digital India" before introducing this that this 5years back everything most probably would be written record work which may or maynot be kept safely. So to reduce man work and human errors digital India had become a good intiative taken by the government. The main motto of this is to empower India and is being implemented by 3 core concepts that is,

* Secure and stable digital infrastructure development.
* Delivering government services digitally.
* universal digital literally.

With is some percent of corruption can also be reduced. The challenge that enroute here is how it would be succesfully implemented so that its serives could be reached to every individual in the society from rural to urban area. Growing technologically is also the main aspect of a country and to be considered as a foremost thing.

Greetings to all.

Digital India is boon for the country. India becomes the second country with the maximum number of internet users. It's benefitting the entire nation. There are always exceptions but more or less it's a blessing. It facilitates with various easy applications. India is going cashless helping people to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The Internet has become necessary with the spread of the virus COVID-19. It reduces physical contact. It's helping people to work from home during this pandemic. Digitalization in India is an advantage to the following categories of people:.

I) Farmers: They learn better ways of growing crops and know the market rate of grains. They save themselves from getting fooled by tradesmen.

II) Teachers and Students: They are giving and getting education online which makes it easier and saves time of traveling. Teachers and students are getting time to spend time with their families.

III) Corporate world: Digitalization has made holding meetings easier using group video call platforms and again work-from-home feature, makes them spend time with families.

IV) Celebrities: For the first time in their life, they are getting to know and spend time with their families, celebrating festivals with a free mind and giving time to their children fully.

V) Toll tax department: NHAI introduced 'fastag' which reduces physical contact while paying the road tax and saves time.

VI) Shoppers and Sellers Online: Pandemic came with a vast increase in sales of online shopping which helped the economy in some way.

VII) Housewives: They are getting a chance to learn and do courses.

Everything has it's bad side so as digitalization. Digital India has got the following disadvantages:.

I) Reduced Face-to-Face-meet: People are not able to share their feelings and getting depressed since everything is going online.

II) Students Learning process: Students are not able to concentrate for long since it affects eyes and Online they are getting just bookish knowledge whereas going to school, they learned practical skills.

III) Health Problems: People sitting at homes in front of laptops are developing fat and becoming hefty. Children are more interested in video games and not preferring physical games.

IV) Radiation: People are getting exposed to a lot of radiation released my phones and laptops.

V) Online Education: Students are free to not pay attention since online nobody can beat them. So, some of the students are taking advantage of it by sleeping during online classes but pretending to be there.

So overall we see that it's 2020, the world is becoming better in terms of technology which will obviously have some health-related cons. We can happily ignore such disadvantages by regulating the use and appreciating the ease which the technology is creating. We must thank the scientists and engineers who develop such beautiful devices which make our lives easy.

Thank you all.

Digital India is a dream for our honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.

As the coin has two sides similarly everything has its merits and demerits. Digitalization has been benefiting us in many sectors in this pandemic. The sectors like Banking Transactions, Food deliveries, Online Study, Work from home and so many ways. Imagine this pandemic 10 years back, it seems that it would be uneasy and tough for us to survive without these facilities. We have the data about the viruses, its effects on the human body, and its medicines of earlier pandemic situations like Malaria, Swinflu, HIV, etc. We are using these data to find out the medicine for COVID-19. This is only possible with the help of developing technologies and the digital world. Many vaccines like Gam-COVID that is given by Russia for 1/2 phase COVID cases is one of the best example and hopefully we will be able to find out a proper vaccine very soon. Till then we can work and getting food deliveries in one call, we can talk to our family and friend this is such a boon for all of us. The demerits are only because of misuse of the data and technology and this is just because of some of the greedy people who want to get benefitted illegally in a criminal way. Piracy, Conspiracy, Hacking accounts, Cheating are such issues that need to be worked upon by developing some more strong technologies, and security should be provided to our data.

The Digital India scheme is one of the most successful scheme to be seen in India under the government act. This is all because of the simplicity and comfort what we always wanted in our life got through this scheme. By using the apps like phonepe, paytm and other apps we can make our transactions in seconds. But it has some limitations also such as hacking that we all call as cyber crime etc.
