Digital India is an initiative taken by our honourable Prime Minister in July 2015 to make the citizen of this nation self-dependent and increase the reach of the facilities that are provided by the Government Sector and Private Sectors like:
1. Subsidies in LPG,
2. Online Transaction of Money,
3. Acess to the global market for small businessmen,
4. Free Online Education,
5. Online Ticket booking and many more.
To every citizen regardlessly that citizen is living in any rural area or urban area.
But as we all know that each coin has two faces similarly Digital India has also some cons.
1. Due to Digitalisation many traditional businesses got vanished.
2. Rate of online fraud also increased drastically.
3. By the name of online education many children got spoiled by online games and many more things.

Hello everyone,
As my point of view digital India programme is;
Providing help to citizens of India in different forms.
I know as a postman by this the people getting profits of government schemes directly without any irrelevant interpretation.
They got used of DBT, AEPS (IN VILLAGES AT E MITRA OR POST OFFICES).
BY DIGITALIZATION STUDENT WHO COULD NOT PAY COSTLY COURSES THAY ALSO CAN LEARN FREELY ON BEST PLATFORMS NOW.
Business activities also can be controlled by businessman and there will be fairer between govt and business activities.
By the DIGITALIZATION of India post now people are using doorstep banking.
And online marketing & purchasing is now increasing quickly.
Online courts are getting quick access to cases.
Moreover, it is most helpful to saving time and distance of human life.

Digital India is a great step taken by the government of India. It has made life easy, there are some disadvantages but we are working to Rectify all these.
First of all, we can do a transaction, shopping easily as we have some SMS based transaction also which don't require smartphones.
This we have good control on corruption as we can chase the transaction easily, if the maximum transaction becomes cashless then we can trace this money easily.
It will help the environment as it reduces much paperwork and human time also it has increased scope in IT sector and provides lots of employment.
The only thing that harms to it is to people's money security as still, we don't have strong apps and URL and also interference of unknown cyber activity which tries to steal our information regarding the account.

Hello everyone,
As we all know that in this era, India is on the list of developing countries, lots of people facing the problem of poverty, water, electricity, education, proper meal etc. Conditions in the backward area are not up to the mark, they don't have a smartphone, laptop, internet facility. More than 50% of the Indians used to this problem. So how we can imagine Digital India?
Digitalization is a fantastic concept, but what about who have no internet, electricity at their home. So according to my opinion, the government should take initiative about these poor people. Otherwise, we will never come on the list of developed countries.
Hackers and thieve find lots of ways to do stolen money from the accounts.
This is the irony of digitalization that most people don't know how to use gadgets.

The digital world is a fantastic concept but only for the small section of people because large of illiterate people live in our country they live in remotest area where even lights are not properly available so what is meaning of digital world for them if any country wants development of its people then its make assess to a large section of society we Indians come in the category of lower middle class where people are highly uneducated so its govt responsibility to start large no of Campaign to each and every corner of India so that no one can be left with benefits of digitisation we see how life become so simple through this digitization we get quality study material in an easier way we connect with a knowledgeable teacher from across country digitally but it must be biased for all people of India.

Good morning everyone.
Digital India is an initiative started by the government of India to bridge the communication gap between the government and people. In this era where technology is growing by leaps and bounds it is essential to make all Indians aware about online services. With the decrease in costs of internet packages even poor and rural people can learn the usage of internet and do their things by their own instead of travelling to distant places for enrolment in some government schemes. But there must me some awareness programmes conducted to make rural people understand the Digital India services. Even it does conduct online contests and internships and this a really a good push to students. So if everyone starts using this platform making a Digital India would nomore remain as a dream.

Well, I would advise you to have a tour of CG. Here, the 'Raman Sarkar' just when the Elections were due in 2019, distributed Micromax phones across the state in the name of Digital India and Sanchar Kranti Yojna. You may argue that it was done for digitalising lives, but even after all this, their efforts went in vain because all the rural families had no 'real' use of phones, the hands which were once busy in helping in chores were now playing PUBG in phones provided. It does sound funny and is hard to accept but you, me and the Country will get digitalised in the correct sense if we are ready and prepared enough to understand the good and bad facets of it. The Thing is: you would profit if you know how to make a profit. You would progress if you have a heartfelt desire of progressing.
Thank You.
Thank You.

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.

Digital India is a scheme launched by the Indian government. It is very beneficial for us. It help to develop our country's economy. By digitalization, we can easily do some essential things like transactions, online business and online study. We can fill up forms of any government jobs and government-related like ration card, voter card. By correct use of digitalization, people can learn and achieve many things and internet gives much information for gain knowledge about anything we can do our work from home' in pandemic like a corona.
Digitalization also has some disadvantages like In online transactions there are possibilities of cybercrime. Sometimes transactions get failed. In online education, the teacher-student intersection is less. So digitalization has both advantages and disadvantages.

Hello everyone,
Today, I want to discuss the merits and demerits of digital India. As we all know in previous times we used to think a lot before downloading a single video but digitalisation has changed India a lot, now we can suffer through the internet without thinking of any internet issues. The people who know how to use it in a right way, to them it is not less than a boon but the kids having no knowledge of using technology don't know how easily they are wasting their time by indulging themselves in online games. As a student, we are working for a better future and has met a lot of teachers online and started studying from them. People started working online and saved a lot of their time. We stopped going to banks for regular transactions which also resulted in less traffic and pollution.
