Digital India: Whom Does it Benefit?

The fact about Digitalization or digital India is still a dream for many in the country. The government has declared digitalisation but where is the proper infrastructure for that. In this period of the pandemic when each and everyone is struggling and relying on online education only, there are many who are still struggling for getting proper connectivity for attending their online classes without any interruption.

Digital India is a dream for our honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. As the coin has two sides similarly everything has its merits and demerits. Digitalization has been benefiting us in many sectors in this pandemic. The sectors like Banking Transactions, Food deliveries, Online Study, Work from home and so many ways. Imagine this pandemic 10 years back, it seems that it would be uneasy and tough for us to survive without these facilities. We have the data about the viruses, its effects on the human body, and its medicines of earlier pandemic situations like Malaria, Swinflu, HIV, etc. We are using these data to find out the medicine for COVID-19. This is only possible with the help of developing technologies and the digital world. Many vaccines like Gam-COVID that is given by Russia for 1/2 phase COVID cases is one of the best example and hopefully we will be able to find out a proper vaccine very soon. Till then we can work and getting food deliveries in one call, we can talk to our family and friend this is such a boon for all of us. The demerits are only because of misuse of the data and technology and this is just because of some of the greedy people who want to get benefitted illegally in a criminal way. Piracy, Conspiracy, Hacking accounts, Cheating are such issues that need to be worked upon by developing some more strong technologies, and security should be provided to our data.

Everyone has their own valid points. I would like to add digital India is growing tremendously in this pandemic situation. For example, in this lockdown many people got benefited through online classes, work from home, network marketing, etc. This shows India is achieving digitalization in a very short interval of time. Though there are some cons like cheating, malpractice, online phishing has been increased I believe everything will get well soon through more security features in future.

I think, all you had made give points but I'd also like to add digital India word is just like a buzzword in these days and like everyone said it had replaced manual work now people become more aware regarding technology and student also took initiative to learn more and even many companies come with such technology that student can learn and clear their textbook concept with some gaming app or by visual learning like Byju's or lido learning app and many other apps are doing.

On the other side in today scenario many startups in education field are uprising their carrier and recently the government had also made changes in its policy (National Education Policy) in which student from 6th standard will be able to learn the coding so that student is Whitehat jr like companies provide online coding courses so that student can become aware regarding technology environment concept.

So, like in this way, I think Digital India is the great concept for all the age group person.

Thank you!

According to my point of view, Digitization has made a huge impact in today's condition (especially during this pandemic).

First, let me talk about its pros:

Taking the example of this pandemic conditions, Businesses have learned a lot and adapted according to their need using different platforms eg. You all can see how many businesses have come online and showcased themselves to full-fill customer needs such as groceries shops, medical services, vegetable and fruits etc.

Now let's Talk about its cons:

Adapting digitization is not possible for everyone as it requires proper education and other factors, for an example, we know that owner's of laundry shops, people who depend on their they are not educated, as a result, they get lost in the market.

Hello everyone, according to my point of view, like a coin has both sides in the same manner everything thing has both merit and demerit. Now talking about digital India, first of all in this point of the stage we just can't imagine our lives without digitalization. In this pandemic situation, the new emerging technologies have helped a lot in many sectors. Studies are not getting hampered (has not come to complete halt) to some extent because of this, imagining ourselves 10 years back with such pandemic makes us feel so uneasy and discomfort. We could spend our time months after months seating at home just by using social media platforms with is a gift of this digitalization. This digitalization has helped a lot in banking, travelling food, grocery and just everywhere. It is hard to find any such place where you don't find them so there is no point of benefitting a few, it is a boon for all Indian citizens from a farmer to a doctor or astronauts.

But as said earlier everything is accompanied with its demerit too. Because of this digitalization piracy, conspiracy, malpractice, and cheating have extended to great heights which are a great cause of worry.

Digital India has been the dream of our esteemed Prime minister and businessmen, whose reachability and importance has increased to a large extent amidst this pandemic, where people are more engrossed towards cashless payments. The idea of Digital India will benefit all the sections of society. If we talk about rural areas, the benefits will be primarily seen for education, since the availability of smartphones and good internet connection will help the children to grab opportunities which they usually loosed. The online presence of small scale businesses in these areas will also be increased which helps them to advertise and expand their businesses as well. Digital processes also benefit the urban people by reducing the time spent in various activities and increasing the efficiency of people in urban areas. Since the digital India idea is in its developing stage, it also increases the demand for tech people and creates a large number of opportunities as well. The current idea of Jio's 5G implementation has raised jobs for more than 50000 people in the country.

Hellow guys.

According to me, digitalization is the best way to promote development, because it helps to the banking sector, education, service sector, agriculture. Etc thats all. And this most useful to control black money, while digital India is a great initiative to the world and benificial.

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.

I think it will be befitting to look at digitalization from the perspectives of the different demographic groups of the nation. Primarily these constitute the children, the youth and working class, and the senior citizens. For the children, digitalization has had a significant role in opening doors for unrestrained information. This has a revolution in terms of education, post-pandemic times. While the education system still continued to run on the traditional chalk-talk-exam pedagogy, the pandemic has forced the educators to look at it from a different perspective. Since information is now at the tip of your fingers, examinations that test one's memory either need to adopt a different approach or consider getting scraped. Hence exam pedagogies are now evolving to test children on other aspects such as comprehension, creativity, research and critical thinking which previously remained under the hood. Digitalization has also enabled learners to set their learning curves as per their needs-some require steep ones while some others require a gradual growth. Websites like Coursera and EdX have also opened courses free of cost, giving access to varied topics of learning to everyone in the world with the internet. Such globalization of learning, though in existence previously, has risen to the limelight especially during the times of the pandemic. Consider other aspects of a child's life, everything from entertainment to education is now encapsulated with the internet and a device to access it. Hence it becomes the world for him/her.

Coming to the working class, digitalization has enabled them to live a hassle-free, tailored-to-comfort flexible work-from-home life cutting costs and time of travel. It has also opened a degree of flexibility to work reducing stress to a large extent. Breaking for lunch after a morning's work is now common in households for people working from home. Clearly people can spend much more time with their families and live a more wholesome life. Digitalization has also enabled certain industries to run despite the pandemic which is an important aspect considering the declining job market.

For the senior class, digitalization has had little impact considering their difficulty to adapt to the new technology. Nonetheless, a certain portion are comfortable with smartphones and the internet. Inevitably they seem to encounter some complication or a problem that needs the assistance of the younger generations to get their experience going smoothly with tech. However, they are now able to communicate with their children long-distance and still stay connected. They are able to better monitor health once they know how to use resources online.
