Every coin has 2 sides i.e. positive as well as negative. Same here digitalization as 2 sides.

First, it helps to make online payments because of that there will be cashless transactions. If we talk about schools we can see that many schools take attendance online, sometimes they take online lectures, and they provide notes digitally. In India, we can see that many schools shifted their offline education to online education.

But nowadays students don't know about games. They take their phones all the time because of that there are many problems such as their eyesight reduced, mental health issues, etc.

Hello everyone, before digging into the topic, I want to introduce myself first I am Ayush.

I feel very fortunate to initiate such a great topic Digital India. So, in my point of view, digitization is a great step to make ourselves more technical and helps us to make our work more efficient. Digital India is spreading in several sectors. If I am talking about education sectors students' fee submission, students' attendance, teachers' attendance, etc important works are done now digitally very efficiently. An online transaction can be considered an effective step to make true the dream of cashless India.

Various government sectors now serving their services to people digitally whether it may be Aadhar card-related work, Pan card, etc, now because of digitalization there is no need to stand in a long queue for hours.

So, in conclusion, digital India makes us faster and makes the way we work very efficient.

Hello everyone.

I am glad to share my opinion to this discussion.

Digitization is transforming India, it is an important part of the G-20 summit as well, it is a positive aspect of our economy and growth.

Through digitalization, work becomes simple and saves resources time and effort.

Digitally now everything is online with the help of mobile phones, and laptops.

As technology grows we have to change for the betterment and updation and move forward to enhance the growth of our country.

During the COVID-19 era, everything became digital. Even doctors consult with their patients.

Online prescription medicines were delivered to their doorstep.

Various marketing campaigns are run digitally to grab the attention of the people, eg iPhone selfie campaign.

Through digitalization, we learned a lot of things from shopping, buying and selling, everything has become digital.

Digitalization is not a negative step, but a step of improvement and growth for India.

Yes, I agree with Ashima's point that digital has its pros and cons digitalization makes our life so easy and comfortable but for the regular person who doesn't know how it works or even doesn't know what is digitalization so for my point of view, digitalization is good but Gov't take steps for the awareness of the rural areas also.

In my opinion, digitalization is a good thing. It has its pros as well as cons. No doubt India is growing day by day. Nowadays people only do online payments, online shopping, etc. But the thing is Most of the people from rural areas don't even know how to use cell phones or mobiles. In rural areas, people are not much aware of online payments. So it will be a very big problem for them if India is fully digitalized. So, In my perspective, the Government has to do such awareness drives in rural areas for people and educate them about digitalization.

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 campaign launched by prime minister Narendra Modi ji on 1 July 2015. The motto of this initiative is 'Power to empower '. The objective of this campaign includes increasing the reach of technology to the rural areas by providing better internet connectivity, digitalising money transactions, education etc and many more thus making India a digitally empowered nation.

As far as now this campaign had bring many positive changes and improvements in various sectors.

Now most of the population is doing online payments, we see QR codes pasted in cafes, on vegetable vendors shop, in other many places almost everywhere in the market. People can go out without their wallet and can do payment easily with their mobile.

Digitalisation attract investment of many domestic and foreign companies to invest in making smartphones and digital tools as the production increase now most of the household have atleast one smartphone there which is the necessary tool to be digital.

Students can learn online we see in the covid times when schools get closed and students were unable to get education physically then this digitalisation helps to make online learning possible.

Also people can order various types of product online to save the time of going into the market.

As digitalisation have many there are Some areas to concerning about like cyber crime as in the process of like doing online payments some people come across with frauds and face loss of money. Due to such cases some people even afraid to adopt digital methods so it is necessary that government take care of such concensus, provide cyber protection and ensure safe and secure digital platform.

Also, people can be aware of such fraud people and can save themselves from any loss.

Overall digital India is a successful campaign and by adopting digital means of operating and preventing its drawbacks India can emerge as a powerful and empowered digital nation.

The first and foremost thing is that everything has pros and cons, the same stuff as 'DIGITALISATION'.

Firstly, the public can withdraw and deposit at any time at their fingertips, with no need to listen from banks that the current link fails or the system is not working because generally most of the bank's branch treats this type of excuse.

Secondly, Students can submit their exam fees in night also, I mean that they don't need to face the problem of Sunday closing, half Saturday, second Saturday and national holidays whatever.

Ultimately, UPI[Unified payments interface ] everyone knows about this government facility. According to NPCI, UPI transaction is still increasing day by day in our pragmatic life because it's so easy techniques to transfer from one A/c to another one without any transaction fee. It means the government is also promoting ONLINE transactions that's why they are not charging any types of fees.

Thus, Digitalisation will be increasing in the forthcoming days with a huge number of people.
