Digital India! The simple definition is the transfer of data from pages to digital form. Nowadays We live in this developing country "INDIA" where we have all diversities and with that our respected Prime minister Narendra Modi added one more thing to make India developing to develop!

As I talk about the benefits, The benefits are all ours now A person living in any village can access data from home like using the apps which access the details! As I'm a college student living in other cities which is far home away and I want some money to spend in any of my needs my mom or dad can easily send me money using *Phonepee or Google pay app* that's called digital India.

Some demerits of digital India:

Nowadays People have that much engaged with their online life that they can not do anything or go somewhere to get something to eat or other, they easily open the apps and order it. It is good but The Major impact is on the health of people. According to 2016-17 survey, people are suffering from *Obesity* problem because they don't go outside or make their body to lose some calories. At last, digital India is a good way but people have to understand or maintain their private plus online life so they can live a better lifestyle for being healthier.

Thanks.

1. Digital India which denotes a higher standard of living
2. People can take benefit of making transaction online without standing in queries.
3. Good Source of economic growth and an increase in GDP.
4. Reduction in brokers the especially in banks.
5. Lowering the fraud.
6. Save papers

Digital India is a good step taken by Modi government as we don't need to carry large amount of money in wallet every time. It helps us to roam confidently wherever we want as we don't have insecurity. Nowadays it has become easier to transfer money from one state to another or across the country within seconds and has become safer with otp generated at each transaction.

Many people think it has ruined many job offers but they don't understand that it has also given many job opportunity like a cab driver, zomato delivery boy. Even an illiterate person can grab a job offer easily with the digitalised world. Nowadays many of us have a smart phone and people use it so we can be aware of theft taking place in online transaction and be-conscious beforehand. Many of the fraud circulars are shared in the WhatsApp group to make people alert about the Cybercrime taking place.

So, I am in support of digital India as it supports both rural and urban area people by its new schemes.

Digitalization means digitizing everything that can be digitized. According to me it is beneficial, as it will help our country to move from developing zone to developed zone.

Advantages:.

1. No need to waste our time, by standing in long queues waiting for our chance to make transaction in banks. We can do that sitting at home, it will just be a click away and will hardly take few minutes.

2. All transaction will be cashless and the problem of change that exist every now and then will not exist in the future.

3. Sitting at home we can book flight tickets, train tickets, movie tickets.

4. There will be no need to visit every shop while shopping, we can sit at home and have access to the websites of various shops and can have a look at variety of options.

5. Criminal activities and corruption will be reduced to a very large extent because all the transactions get recorded in database and there is no risk of losing data.

6. Because of digitalization use of paper will be reduced to a very large extent and hence deforestation will also be reduced.

Some people say it is not for those people who are not educated but that problem can be solved if government conducts programs to teach those people how to access the system.

Year by year number of educated people in our country is increasing and most probably in the future almost everyone will be educated.

So, Digitalization is needed. It is Important that uneducated and rural people should be given a chance to develop or else how are they going to develop.

I am Pulkit Sankhla. I am a Civil Engineer.

So everyone is just pointing out the mere benefits of digital India, so to break the unanimity I'd like to address a few of it's negative points. I also believe that it'd help the farmers, uneducated and lower middle class people great opportunities but look at the demerits of this.

I believe the kids are exposed to so many things which need to be classified and served to them on the basis of their age group. Kids are exposed to dark internet and pornography way before they are being taught sex education. Some light-hearted kids even went on for suicide to greater numbers in the past few years while playing that BLUE WHALE GAME. So kids these days must be protected by their parents up to a certain age and they tend to grow and develop their habits naturally. Also this digitization has made kids as well as teenagers vulnerable. People these days don't have patience. They need everything at lightening fast speed, but that isn't the way life works. Some things need TIME and require a lot of PATIENCE, success won't be achieved in a day or two. Working hard for it will make it the shorter path.

Now coming to the bigger point of this whole scenario which is the private data owned by Google Facebook Amazon.

The above companies can do whatever they want with us with the amount of data they've stored about us. The surplus amount of data about us inclusive of everyday tracking of our footsteps, our geolocation, our payment methods, etc etc is quite dangerous and needs to be addressed.

Also the details we've shared in the Aadhar Card are also hackable since it's not at all been proven by the GOI that they can't be hacked. Overall the data linked to our Aadhar is going to backfire us, against us, if used in a challenging way.

So better pray that we head towards better digitization, moreover, a controlled way of digitization.

Thanks.

Hello friends:

In my point of view, digital India is beneficial. Digitalization means bringing all the transactions into a single platform through the digital process which was launched by India PM Narendra Modi in 1 July 2015.

In my point of view With this digitalization process, all the transactions can be done easily with less time and less effort. Due to this cashless transactions, we can reduce the corruption in India. Its main motto is that we can say our future kids "India is not a developing country it is a developed country".

Whenever we heard the word Digital, we are like wow that sound's good. Because Digital word itself makes us feel ease as well as lazy also. As far as my limited knowledge, I think that getting into the digital zone rather than following conventional methods is an effective thing. And I can proudly say that digital technology would be boon for our country. Otherwise, we cannot get into space from earth. If talk about the people who acquired the benefits of Digital India is undoubtedly the educated people in larger. People in villages and the people who are not literate are not much known and use of digital technology.

Yes, it is correct that digital India has benefits but there are disadvantages too like, rural people are not at all aware about all this as most of them are uneducated, another problem is that this digital transaction has become an opportunity for hackers.

Digital India is nothing new.

It's a way to switch the professional process (i.e banking, education, public interest or need, social welfare and many more) from pen & paper to online way. In terms of which the process became more reliable, faster, transparent and in travelling easier to carry all these stuff. As an initiative, it is started by our honourable prime minister Narendra Modi ji in 2015. Yet still, it is treated as an irrelevant process by most of the public.

But the digital process also increases the scopes of cyber crimes and unemployment.

So it's all about as that we want to turn this initiative, By adoption of this process, a great global positive change is waiting for India.
