Digital India: Whom Does it Benefit?

Digital India is an good intiative to develop India, but practically speaking it may not be 100% digitialised as every one of us know the rural proportion is more in our country and moreover if we want our country to be digitialised as every one said that we have to make all payments through online for that everyone should have smartphone where in rural area many don't have smartphones and also they know only to use the basic set so it will be difficult for rural people to make online payments not only in rural area even in urban area they are many street vendors who are living their life through doing business on streets so it will be problematic for them too, and also everyone should have bank account even though PM Modi has introduced Jandan Yojana but still many rural people don't have their bank account and also people who has bank Account many of them don't know how to use it. Therefore we have to take everyone into consideration before making India digitialised, as per my opinion it can be digitialised only to some extent and not completely.

Digital India means everything is available online without going anywhere one can buy things, other can sell and some can get jobs sitting at home. Digital India programme organized by PM Modi and Jio helped it so that poor and rich both get the internet facilities at low cost and even faster than before. This made everyone to use internet and a click now pays all bills and transfer money without going anywhere.

Due to digitization people are eager to learn new technologies and this increased the number of job opportunities at IT sector. It not only making work easy and comfortable but also increasing employment and knowledge.

Government is also getting benefit as no more black money each and every transaction will be online so if any fraud happens government get to know.

Everyone from rich to poor are enjoying the advantage of digital India as it help in saving time and get to know different prices so farmers can also get appropriate price.

I think that the digital India is not benefitial because in rural areas number of people will be uneducated so it is measure issue. First we have to educate them.

Digital India brings the upliftment of jobless people. As we all know, digital India is not all about digitizing all the equipments but also about new startups. Many startups like paytm not only create a atmosphere of digital India but also employment for people because a large number of workers are required to function the startup properly. Moreover, by digitizing all the things make it convenient and easy as you can perform any task at home through use of internet. Further through digital payment no one had headache of carrying a large amount of money. A good example of digital payment is Google pay which had made it very easier for us to do transactions.

With the concept of digital India, India has put a step forward for the growth of its citizen in different sectors.

Digital India includes proving ICT tools like desktop laptops mobile phones printers, internet access as well as understandable platforms, to every Indian citizen.

E-Services like E-police, E-court, E post office save us from standing in long queues. Online platforms for different government schemes help us to get connected with the government. Online courses under MOOC help students in distance learning, Biometric attendance system in offices helps to detect absenteeism of an employee.

Digitization help us to know our money transfer within seconds this also creates a backup date for future reference and also it avoids middlemen involvement thus reduces fraud and corruption.

All the above-stated benefits are helping Indian citizen and the Indian government.

Apart from this most of the urban population are making good use of digital platform not only in their businesses but also to ease their life like booking train, bus, movie tickets, online food ordering, and many more but still its not the100% population because still many of the urban population do not have a good knowledge of different online services.

Also at present, 90% of the rural population does not have internet access, 70% of them are digitally illiterate, 70% does not have ICT tools like smartphone or desktop.

The Indian government has started programs like NDLM for digital literacy and had set up a target to provide internet access to all 6.5 lakh villages of India by 2022.

So, an Indian citizen whether in rural or in Urban India who has availability of ICT tool at an affordable price, easy access of internet and understanding of service platform is benefited by DIGITAL INDIA.

According to me, Without digitization, it is impossible to boost our economy.

As we know India is a developing country and digitalization is a the only way Which can save a lot of time of any work. There was a time when one has to stand in long lines for atm transaction, getting a ticket, buying the product, etc.

Now all these works can be done by just one click with the help of digitalization.

It helped every sector of people. Some of them are:


1. Education - now anyone who wants to improve his knowledge can learn from the online portal for free. In India, a no of the lecture are created daily on youtube daily which can be watched by any student just by his smartphone with zero cost. A lot of teachers and professors are now teaching online, providing notes in affordable prize. Also in this pandemic, the states of India are creating an educational app for their student to continue their study.

2. Banking sector - as we know banking helps a lot to boost any economy. Nowadays all types of transactions like sending money to someone, fee deposition, recharge of phone, buying a product online, etc can be done just two to five minutes with the help of online banking. We can also apply for a loan as well.

3. Agricultural - as we know India is an agricultural-based country. And now farmers can get a lot of information about a scheme launched by government which was not able before digitalization. They are also able to see weather forecasting, technology in agriculture and even can get a loan for farming like government provide loan for fish farming.

4. The service sector- now all type of service sector uses technology for providing better service like online ticket booking, online application for driving license, Aadhar card, PAN card, online tax submission, and many more.

People whos is physically challenged can not get benefit from online shopping sites, online food delivery apps, even in some cities few supermarkets provide the facility of home delivery of groceries, fruits, and vegetable which are a great relief for these people.


Digitalization also helps in reducing corruption. But there are several areas of India where internet literacy is too low as compared to well-developed areas so first, we should try to educate our people.

Hello everyone. Today I'm going to discuss the topic of digital India.

It was launched by honourable prime minister Narendra Modi in 2015 to make India digital. In my opinion, the best example of digital India is a cashless economy. If I'm talking about the cashless economy in simple words it means when we pay for something through digital platforms like Paytm or through our credit card, atm etc. If I talk about the present time when we are suffering from covid 19 disease cashless payments are so useful.

Thank you.

Hello everyone.

According to my perspective, students are much benefited from digital India because of internet complex study and study material available easily. We can learn anything from youtube and some other app in a very less fee.

At this time, all these study-related things available in a very easy manner because of digitalization.

Hello everyone. This is Meghna.

Digitalisation refers to shifting from the offline world to the digital world. Innovation and continuous improvement play a major role in digitalisation.

Digitalisation is helping everyone in these times i.e. The time of corona. From saving the jobs of teachers, saving the careers of students, to saving the lives of patient, digitalisation helps each and everybody.

Digital India is all are the benefit like industry, schools, college, government and private sectors. Etc.

Digital India industries all are very updated and going to investigate digital technology.

Education is the most important one in digital India. Because covid time students are not attending classes in the classroom they are attending classes in digital mode.

The government and private sectors all are changing technology in digital.
