Digital India: Whom Does it Benefit?

Digital India is one of the most exciting and relevant subjects to work on because India wants to go cashless in the upcoming years which is a great initiative. But how safe are the system securities in our country?

We know that most of the people actually are scared about online payments and transactions because of the lack of security. We all know about the cyber crimes happening in our country and hence some people don't want to be the conquests for it. But if the government ensures a proper security system for digitalization, then definitely India is one step away from going cashless. Even the people in rural areas are still a problem because of lack of digital education, but if India wants this event to be successful then they need to take certain initiative and send some educated people to a rural town and educate people over there about digitalization, its importance, and benefits. Overall I can conclude that Digitalization in India is possible only by proper plans and efforts put up by the government.

Digital India Campaign was one of the great initiatives launched by the GOI with the main purpose to make the society and economy digitally empowered. Through digital India, the government makes sure to provide all its services electronically to the citizens of the country with the mandated accountablity and transparency. There is no need to stand for hours waiting for your turn to avail the services now you can do this simply from home through your phone whether it is a banking, railways or any government related services, etc.

Apart from this digital India has encouraged the usage of cashless transactions. Now the number of people prefer to use debit/credit card and also UPI came into force which is now one of the widely used payment mechanism preferred by the people.

Digital India is a great step but it has a long way to go. Still, it has to reach the rural and penetrated areas where illiteracy still prevails. Its overall success depends only when it is able to connect all the citizens of the country.

I would like to bring a different view to this discussion. All the people around the world are getting benefitted from digitalisation in some way. But there are also cases where people are affected by digitalisation.

For Ex. Auto Rikshaw, and cabs are facing huge trouble because of online platforms like ola, Uber, etc.

There are various benefits of digitalisation which we are all aware of. But many people fail to see the negative side of the same.

Digitalisation gives control of all activities to multinational/ corporate companies. And the prices will be fixed only by them for all the services provided. We tend to become slaves again, not directly but in an indirect sense.

So these things should also give attention to before anything happens like in the case of agriculture, where farmers are not able to fix the prices for their yield.

I conclude by saying that digitalisation has a large number of benefits, but the other side should also be given attention, and necessary precautions should be taken.

Digital India is one of the most ambitious schemes among series of schemes launched by Indian government. It has abled to impact very positively to youth and to bussiness class of our society the most. They are getting benefit of digital India as they don't have to move around the bank and they are making their transaction via their phone on hand only. Latest schemes and offers made by new apps to make space in market for them are also attracting youth to make payment through online as well.

Also, government has get benefited from "digital india" as transactions are being made before government's eye and as a reason, tax evasion is being prevented. In additions of all these, government has abled to enhance its tax collections by monitoring transaction because can't rid off from paying tax.

However, it can never be denied that major chunks of our society are away from this, for a reason of illeteracy, many peoples of our society can not use simple mobile phone and using smart phone is long way for them.

Hello Everyone.

According to me today's youth benefited the most from Digital India. Being a student, I can see all the privileges that I got after India has embraced digitalization. I am pretty sure other students and young people must have benefited too.

1) Good Quality education is no more limited to good colleges. Students can avail of top-rated courses of their own choice and that too from the comfort of their home. Due to this students from tier-2, tier-3 colleges are able to compete with students from top colleges.

2) Many youths started online start-ups, especially during the pandemic. The lives of many of them changed overnight. Internet is flooded with such success stories.

3) Digital world gave today's youths a platform where they can showcase their talent, raise voices, make connections, stay updated.

But It is sad to see that youths are getting so much indulged in this lucrative digital world. They started neglecting their friends and family. Screen time has overshadowed personal time.

Digitalisation is the process of converting materials and information into digital form. The main transforming source is internet connectivity. In the case of India, our government started a digital India program for the development of the nation in terms of connecting the people and providing the information up to the ground level. If we see the real picture of the digital India the most benefited group is :

1. Those who know how to use modern technology like mobile, computer, and its services.
2. Mostly the literate people who are aware of it only.

3. Those people who are connecting through the scheme and e-commerce, banking, education, and geo-spatial information system.

But many people are not getting it a real benefit like unaware people either literate or illiterate (especially farmer, worker, etc). So we should first work with the government on the utilization of digital India initiates by providing training, awareness program about its advantage- disadvantage, how to use it and which manner.

Digital India is the best technique of this Era. Every citizen of India avails of this method. In the past when we were doing any work like official and submit the payment or any banking work, then we spend lot of time taking but nowadays we are doing these work in a nanosecond, there are following main points related to digital India -.

1. In the remote villages people go hundreds of kilometre to do their work and nowadays same these type of work people do their work from their home at any time, by this technique people save their time, and work comfortably their field.

2. people who travel in the long-distance journey can online payment and avoiding from hijacker and thieves.

3. ATM card gives a crucial role in our daily life, through this we can transaction in/at every place in the country.

4. Through PAYTM app we can be recharge or increase validity in the phone, so in strange places, we can't be wondered here and there.

And there are a lot of features of Digital India Campaign. Thanks.

Digital India, is an initiative started by the Indian government that has the main motive of making corruption-free India.

Due to digital India, we can do all banking transactions, railway ticket booking, paying fees of college and entrance exam by in 1 minute only. Because of the digital India boom of share market is started in India that one is very good point now young population of India started investment in share market learning and making money from it.

Now, let's talk about covid time, people avoiding direct contact, all bank is shut down but because of digital India, all online transaction of the bank is going on. Our friends far from us are now like one-touch far because of video calling option, college is running during a pandemic because of digital India initiative only.

Digital India's only main disadvantages are cyber security and for old age, people's smartphone usage problem is there but slowly is going fine there children and friends are helping them to use of smartphones.

Hello everyone.

In this pandemic situation, every citizen of India is facing lot of problems like Jobs, unemployment, GDP rate, etc.

But this digitalization concept has lots of benefits, some are;

1) Education sector: by using different platforms like zoom, google meet students can do study at their home without issue. However numerous students are also facing eyesight problems because they have to sit in front of the laptop for several hours. But most of the students are used to do this.

2) Banking sector: if you look at 10 years back without digital India you have to go in a queue for a long time if you want to credit some amount in the bank, but right now conditions are different, by one click you can send currency anywhere in the world.

3) Information broadcasting: By the digital India concept you can get any type of information by using Google, YouTube.

4) Social media: Social media platform right now so much active because of that you can connect anywhere in the world. Etc etc.

Hi.

Today I am going to speak about Digital India. As we know everything consists of advantage and disadvantage. But today my topic is directly related to the advantage of digital India and to whom. So my Frist point is to everyone and most effective to middle class let us say, middle businessman. Because I have seen most of the guy working with cash. Which is not very transparent but if we are working with mobile banking or net banking so it's a very transparent way of business. And this is one of the basic examples. When we are talking about Digital India we have to start from the business sector. When we can pay with our phone then people will thinks about what can I do next with my phone. We have many start-up businesses came from this sector and they now become market giant.

So in order to work in digital way government should provide some basic knowledge about digitally so we can stop some bad ideas. Means cyber theft and etc.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to put my point.
