Digital India, if implemented just as planned, can actually make India stand apart from the other nations in a few years' time. Needless to say, it is beneficial to each and every citizen of our country, provided they understand their privileges and rights well. Here are some of the ways it helps people:

1. E-learning - With an eclectic range of open online courses and certified instructors offering to teach via the internet, this hassle-free learning is unprecedented. The flexibility of fee structure (some courses are even offered for free), timings and no-wastage of travel time makes this an extremely good option for poorer students, stay-at-home moms and anyone else interested to learn.

2. E-commerce - Benefits the consumers as it saves time, energy and is an efficient way to select from a range of products online and having the product delivered at their doorstep. Benefits the sellers as this doesn't allow for any undue advantage of location and transportation to companies.

3. E-banking - As obvious as this is, online transactions make hassle-free handling of money. Just having a phone to the supermarket is enough! Needless to say, this makes process transparent, and just like any other digitization, it saves a lot of time and energy.

4. E-sampark (Vernacular email service) - Not widespread yet, this facet of the Digital India campaign aims to align Non-English speakers with the digital world which largely uses English like in the e-mail IDs.

5. The BharatNet program launched by the Indian Government aims to strengthen internet services in the rural areas. Village People will be educated on digitization under the Digital India initiative so that nobody is left behind when it comes to development.

Having said that, it is imperative that the government take steps very carefully to implement this as the criminal mindset isn't getting any better. Just like people don't have to travel for shopping, so do robbers. The thriving internet can be used just as well for the evils like terrorism, scams, brainwashing, cyber-bullying, hacking and fraud. With our personal information now digitized, the threat increases. So it is very important for us as citizens of the country to be aware and cautious and for the Government to be concerned yet proactive.

First, let's understand what is digitalization?

Digitalisation means to convert physical things into digital things which can help to make the work easy like ok e-banking I banking help us to safeguard yourself from taking a high amount of money with themself instead of we can take a debit card or we can use net banking from our phone which can reduce the risk of theft and it is also safe for the environment but you know that every coin has two sides so the negative side of digitalisation is that if any theft or hacking take place then it is very hard to trace the person who has done this and this digitalization also want some medium black Smartphones and computer to process so poor people can't go for digitalization thank you.

This is Vikas Naik, Digital India is campaign launch by the Government of India in order to ensure the government services are made available to citizen electronically by improving online infrastructure and by increasing internet connectivity and making the country digitally empowered in the field of technology. Digital India is the most important things that initiative is taken by our honourable Prime minister Narendra Modi in 2015. Most of the People, institution, banks etc are getting the benefit through Digital India. Now with the help of Digital India, we can do most of the work at our Home place.

Hello everyone,

As we all know that every century had their own characteristics for which that century was especially know for likewise this century's special thing or you can say the main moto of this one is promoting the use of more and more digital items such as e-payments, e-learning, e-commerce, & many more. This digital itself is telling it's meaning i.e. it is a series of digits 0 & 1 with the help of which a digital programme is prepared and then it is used in various ways depending on its different types of purposes for which it is made. This has merits as well as demerits, so first I would tell about merits.

The main reason because of which this digitalization is spreading is because there is need of more accuracy in our tasks in less time, now a days in market there are much alternatives present if one can't fullfil requirements on time there are others who will definitely snatch that opportunity from your hands so this will be achieved only when we will improve our technologies with time, and the best example for it is this corona pandemic because of which there was a lockdown and that was a phase in which we all were locked in our houses and all the income sources of the people were slowly reducing and it was a scenario that was too close to economic crisis but all thanks to this "digitalization" Due to which other ways to earn money through different methods rised people came into frequent use of digital devices and many other methods different from the authentic one for small startups also, a new source of learning and getting certificate from all aver the globe emerged not only these but there are more points why this digitalization is getting more and more important day by day.

The demerits of digitalization are, that it is much applicable in the countries which are developed countries rather than in developing countries because there is a no. Of people who are not aware of these digital things, who are not even aware of how to use it or how can they make profits with low budgets, on the other hand, there are some people who are misusing it like frauds, because of which person's trust is not being built up which also plays vary important role in less usage of digitalization.

Thankyou.

Digital India will be beneficial to the country's people mainly due to its high-speed internet connection, which is not easily available these days. For the last 2 years, most of the working professionals had to quit their job because of the difficulty in attaining a good internet connection platform to work which has put them to a great loss. But, for the generations to come, I assure you that those people will be living in the most digitally developed country in terms of technology in the world.

Yes, there are lots of benefits from digitization but on the other hand, lots of rural people are not aware of that much technology so they got fooled by online hacking, money laundering.

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

I think the main aim of the digital India was to educate not only urban but also rural people and providing good services of net to those living in hilly areas. Internet service providers- ISPs could play a big role in this. Companies like reliance jio, airtel etc. Are trying to make the net as cheap as possible. And now the net neutrality has been imposed where it will also make it's contributions in providing net to every part of nation at reasonable prices.

Hi Everyone.

According to me, Digitalization is a big move for India but it still we have to do lots of things to make it more powerful as we know the internet is a big game changer now but is the internet available in all parts of India? No, in rural areas we still not have a string hold on it so first we need to do is digitalize the rural areas of India and gave them proper knowledge for using it. Right now we are partially digitalized people who use the apss are capable of digitalization and those who don't even know about such apps are still wasting there valuable time standing in long queues, so its a beneficial move for all but the govt has to do more in the rural areas.

Friends.

In my opinion, Digitalisation is the best example of technology. Nowadays it plays a very important role in our day to day life, Digital India promotes the Cashless India and get rid of in banks, bill payments through digitalisation only just a click Cash directly transfer to another one and all other things which makes our life so easier. It plays a significant role in eradicating of corruption by online transaction. We also see live telecast it is possible because of digitalisation. It was very helpful in our future plans today we order items and delivery it through the digitalisation.
