According to my point of view, digitalization is boon for all of us. It is beneficial for nation including businessman, common people and students. It will not only make work easier but also time consuming. We all want to do all the work within a minute or without going anywhere digitalization helps in it nd technology provide us lots of apps like paytm, online training these all are part of digitalization. Even PM Narendra Modi mention in his speech for making India digital so it is very help full if digitalization implemented in India.

According to me each and everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

So, digital India is good for this time.

Many works are to be done by the online method, such as transferring the documents, any payment. It is also used for learning various classes such as math, English, Reasoning.

Example:-WI-FI study classes on YouTube learn various subjects related to competitive exam.

Due to digital India, we getting by various app available online. Big disadvantages are that the problem of hacking.

Digital India is one of the flagship initiative taken by GoI to achieve various interconnected goals mainly.

1. To promote e-governance 2. Digitally empower citizens 3. Restructure government schemes to be made easily accessible to public.

Digital India benefits Indian economy by inclusive growth and boosting GDP of India by electronic manufacturing and employment generation. It benefits mainly all those who want services and information to be accessible digitally which include business groups, students and all common people. They all get benefited in one way or others. Through this various financial transactions, information sharing could be done from anywhere.

Other benefits include increase in digital payments, broadband connectivity to villages, helps in financial inclusion, build smart cities, employment generation in IT sector, ease of doing business, number of internet user increased and most importantly Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) initiative through which poor benefited most of government schemes.

Challenges- 1. Universal access and connectivity 2. Digital literacy 3. Restriction on FDI 4. Cyber security.

Digital India has brought transperancy, accountability but a lot has to be done so that all section of society get benefited by overcoming gap between rural and urban, rich and poor, gender etc.

Good Evening Everyone!

Today, I want to share my thoughts on the topic ie. "Digital India: Whom Does it Benefit?".

To start with We have to know what does the word Digital mean. It means something smarter something that can take decisions itself in lesser time and effort. Digital India is making the lives of its users easier and at the same time lazier.

The points where Digital beats the pre-existed platforms are,

1. Security: Yes, Digital transactions or messages are end to end encrypted and is pretty hard to decipher.
2. Accuracy: Once again accuracy lies with the accuracy of the user in using it, how digitally literate he/she is.
3. Speed: Things are done within seconds.
4. 24*7 availability: They are at your fingertips whenever you need.

Now, the bigger question is who does all this benefit?
The answer is even simple as to them who are rich enough to afford the expenses and at the same time are literate enough to understand the techniques of how to use the technology.

To be all Digital we as a Nation need more time, there are classes who are still illiterate and find it hard to make their both ends meet, so, as I said, We need more time.

Thank You,

For hearing me.

According to me, the digital program is too good for our country and our as well,

Because by the digitisation the corruption will definitely reduce,

By cashless facility, there's save of paper than it also helps to save our trees.

After the cashless payment, none can do tax evasion.

Then the government will receive total tax and expense it onto public welfare, socialist, education etc.

So, at last, I want to say only that digital India program is definitely good for us but the Govt Should also to be careful to Cybercrime.

Thank you all.

Digital India is a campaign launched by the pm modi of 1 July 2015 to ensure the Government's services are made available to citizens electronically by improved online facilities and by increasing Internet connectivity or by making the country digitally empowered in the field of technology. The motive includes plans to connect rural areas with high-speed internet networks. It is beneficial for all but we are not ignoring that kind of problem facing like uneducated people are not able to using this facilities they face many problems.

The initiative includes plans to connect rural areas with high-speed internet networks. Digital India consists of three core components, development of secure and stable digital infrastructure, delivering government services digitally, and universal digital literacy. But the other hand It is only beneficial for educated people.

Digital India is an Initiative taken by GOI. There are two sides of a coin and digital India is no different. Firstly, I would like talk about the pros as they are much more relevant than the cons.

Digital India has made our life easier. You don't have to stand in question to book a ticket, make reservation or debit and credit money from banks. You can just do these daily chores on a simple click.

As the population of India is increasing, the education quality is decreasing. With the help of applications like by us and other educational applications, students can have access to quality education along with facts and figures.

There was a time when people had to take help of agents to make licences, passports, etc. But now the middleman has gone and we have the direct access to apply.

Digital India will decrease the use of paper and therefore will reduce the deforestation.

Apps like paytm, google pay, and all the payment apps have made our life smooth. Just one click and we can transfer money to anyone and anywhere and have a track of account.

With the help of digital apps like ola, uber, foodpanda, swiggy, etc. Our life has become so much easier and safer.

Now talking about the cons, Still, There is a large no of the population who do not have a access to the Internet or a smartphone. Digital literacy is still an issue. Cyber crimes are increasing day by day. There are target groups like senior citizens and rural people, to whom making a digital savy is difficult. Gradually these issues will get resolved so I believe Digital India is going to Impact the country more in a positive way.

GOI introduced digital India to make the life of citizens easy.
It saves time and the saved time can be utilised for other work.
With the widespread of the internet, students can clarify their doughts and learn new things clearly.
It made payment procedure easier without any interference of a middleman.
People get an update to present technology instantly with the help of digital schemes.
But as technology get developed the incidents of cyber crimes also increasing.
Fake news and fake adds etc are also increasing.
So we need to utilise technology carefully for making digital India a successful mission.
