Hello,

Let's start with the definition of digital India. What is digital India? In simple words, trying to connect people across the country with the help of the telecommunication. It may be a cashless transaction, may be an online payment of the electricity bills etc.

So, when it all started? well according to me digital India started when the Indian banks started to roll out their Automatic Teller Machines commonly known as ATM's. What happened after that? Everyone who are standing in the que's of bank started to withdraw through ATM's and getting the money within few minutes.

Looking great! Isn't it?

Well, lets come to the part where the problems strated. People who are literate and who know how to use digital equipment makes use of this Digital India perfectly. However, some of the people who aren't aware of the digital equipment don't know how to use it and can't make use of it.

An interesting part comes here, those who don't know how to use the digital equipments are good, cause they are still in the que, the people who tries to get to know how to use the digital equipment are being conned by the criminals.

Finally, who makes most of it? I'd say the people. But government should take enough steps to prevent these cybercrimes and should conduct more awareness programs in areas where these cybercrimes are more and digital transactions are less. What I can say is, if the implementation of this mission is effective then we can get the fruits of the digital india, otherwise it's just an enticing word where the governments can boast about themselves to be in power.

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.

It helps in transfer of money without going to the bank, students can learn from their home by watching educational videos, it saves time like anyone can pay bill such as electricity bill or recharge of mobile phones, corruption can be controlled etc. It helps farmers in getting subsidiaries.

Digital India is the program launched by our honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The aim of this program was to make available all the government services to all people, to make the life of people easier, to increase digital literacy in India etc. It has benefited to the people as well as government. People are now doing all the transactions online. There is no need to stand in a long queue for the required services. You can now get all the services at your doorstep by just one click. The access to the transportation, banking services, shopping has become easier.

Also from the government's point of view, the paperwork has been reduced. The corruption has been reduced. Transparency has been increased. Fewer possibilities for storing black money.

So, I think this was the revolutionary step taken by GOI which has benefited all the people in the country.

In my point of view, I always suggest upgrading the technology, in order to compete with other countries digitalization of India play a prominent role. According to me, nothing exists without advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages.

1. With digitalization, all work can be done very easily. Because nowadays all are having the knowledge of smartphone usage so money transaction or any other work can be made by sitting in the home itself.

2. The main reason why we prefer digitalization is TIME. All are trying to save their time because it is as equal to money nowadays.

3. Corruption is the major fact why our India is not grown still now as we expected so by digitalization corruption can be controlled as it contains the full electronic lists of money transaction in the database.

On the other side, rural people who are not educated, don't have the smartphones, even unaware of this digital platform, how can they use the digital platform. So, my point is this digital India is a benefit for only those who knows to use it. In today's world, time is a precious one. So through this digital platform within a few seconds or minutes, we can buy things, transfer money, book tickets, pay bills etc.

Digital India is a beneficial way of transferring money online.

We also get to buy train tickets, things and other important documents through online transfer method.
Not only we save time, we also don't have to travel to the various offices and stand in big lines and wait. All we have to do is open websites at home on our mobiles and computers and perform the tasks.
It shows we are advancing with time.
So it does benefit the people as well as the nation as a whole entity.

Well, let's just begin by saying that the idea of DIGITAL INDIA has indeed proven to be a breakthrough in recent times.

With the advent of technology, everything from making payments to booking railway tickets to even petty works like grocery shopping has gone digital.

This helps everyone save a lot of time in their day to day lives.

Moreover, this has also given an upward push to our startup sector with many companies opening up to try their luck in this arena.

Undoubtedly the digital platform does have a very large consumer base, which if nothing has increased with the advent of JIO.

Also, with a fall in prices due to severe competition in the mobile sector, acquiring a smartphone has never been easier.

So, I strongly believe that the idea of Digital India shall definitely be a huge success.

By seeing today's scenario after the introduction of digitization, we can say that it improves our life to a higher extent and also helps in the economic development of the country.

Merits:

1. It helps to save the environment By saving paper.
2. It is very useful for students who are unable to buy costly books.
3. we can save our time by doing our work on online services like banking, marketing, paying bills etc.
4. It helps to maintain transparency because most of the information's are available on the internet.
5. it also reduces the flow of black money from one country to another.

Demerits:

1. Private information gets easily leaked.
2. Hackers can easily steal money due to lack of strong private network system.
3. Without internet, you are unable to do anything.

Yes, Digital India is very powerful initiative kicked off by Government of India. It's an amazing scheme, with this we can save our money (paise) in decimals. It a positive step towards the time-saving paperless economy. Now everything is going to be transparent in India. It will help to fight with corruption, black money /Fake currency by a great extent. By the launching of this initiative people who were unaware of digital transitions became aware and now they are preferring online transition for different services like for shopping, the transition of money instead of wearing the cash burden in his pocket.

Its impact not only on common people but also on the government servant who is working in different public sectors especially in the banking sectors. Digital India initiative is largely helpful for poor people who are previously not getting benefits of various government schemes because money was not reached out to the intended one due to leakage (corruption). Now they will directly be benefited from various government schemes.

Digital India is a campaign, launched by PM modi in order to progress our country digitally and economically. There are more benefits for citizen in all sectors like banking, railway ticket booking etc. Because it's before we had to stand in a queue for money transfer and we had to go in cyber cafe for ticket booking but because of digitization we are doing everything at home by using paytm, google pay, phone pay etc. This thing we are doing easily because of digitization.
