Hi everyone.

I would like to express my thought about 'Digital India'. Digital India is making it beneficial to us. Nowadays we can not survive in this world. We can save our valued time by using the internet such as online shopping, online payment etc.

We can learn whatever do we want to learn by using the internet. Now this pandemic crises, students learn online also people can work at home because of only one internet.

In my opinion, digital India is making beneficial to us whenever our India is digital it's saved our time like COVID 19 critical situation. A lot of employees do work from home students can learn our studies by laptop, mobile, tablet etc. It gives much more information to the farmer to make her farm better. Avoid paperwork lots of information are available on our mobile. Digital India improves our knowledge. A handicapped person can take better benefits through digital India.

Hello, I am Bablu Rana.

Digital India benefits everyone either directly or indirectly. Those who are aware of computer knowledge can access internet easily and those who are not can enjoy the benefits by others. Digital India makes life easier.

It has the following benefits :.

1) It helps in online education.

Many students are able to study from home or anywhere because of digital India. Those who can't be offered offline coaching because of high price, able to study just because of digital India.

2) Digital India helps in an online transaction.

We don't have to stand in a queue in a bank for long. Ultimately it saves our time.

3) We can order anything like food and other stuff online.

4) It gets closer friends and relatives who are far away.

Despite it has so many benefits it has many consequences as well.

People are facing cyberbullying, security concern and many other problems. Lots of youths are wasting there time on video games so parents must be careful about it.

Lastly, it depends on us how we use it. It will give fruitful results if we use it in a better way and can destroy us if we used it in the wrong way.

We can't move high without internet. In this digital world we have to go with it.

Digital India is only benefited to Educated people. For uneducated people, it is a useless thing. Because Digital India means creating everything in an online way. And uneducated people don't have a knowledge of digitization.

And also it is useless for poor people who can't buy expensive mobile phones or any laptop to make their lives digital.

Because digital includes online transactions, online bookings, online ordering food, online recharge, and etc. Which also reducing employment. To make them digital government should spread awareness of how to access everything to uneducated or poor people, they should give free education for digitization to poor children, the government should give enough employment to the needy so they can make their lives digital If our prime minister really wants to make India digital.

Hello, I am Saradha.

Digital India is a campaign which was organised with the motive of making digital technologies be easily available to every part of the country. In this era, each day we have at-least stepped inch higher in digitizing things, so, it's important we make people aware of this. It has a huge impact on almost every sector, to name a few, agriculture, health, finance, education. In my opinion, it's an absolute time-saver and maintains transparency by avoiding third person involvement. That makes it more secure, reliable and hassle-free. It's also a great venture to connect with the world and keep bettering things holistically.

Digital India is nothing new.

It's a way to switch the professional process (i.e banking, education, public interest or need, social welfare and many more) from pen & paper to online way. In terms of which the process became more reliable, faster, transparent and in travelling easier to carry all these stuff. As an initiative, it is started by our honourable prime minister Narendra Modi ji in 2015. Yet still, it is treated as an irrelevant process by most of the public.

But the digital process also increases the scopes of cyber crimes and unemployment.

So it's all about as that we want to turn this initiative, By adoption of this process, a great global positive change is waiting for India.

What?

Digital India is the adoption of various technologies like computers and ICT in public interest activities like Banking, Offices, education, etc. , intented to make the system more efficient and transparent.

Why?

As opposed to the traditional pen and paper work, digital working is more efficient, faster, transparent and user oriented. Also the scope of its impact is wider than the traditional methods as the travelling costs, setup costs, etc. , are cut in the first place, and in the state of art technologies no human intervention is needed as technologies are becoming smarter day by day.

How?

This digital transformation is a great change and as people are always reluctant with change, so this will also take some time to gain trust of people. More importantly, it is basically aimed at the people living in remote areas and places which have very less accessibility because most of the people who are living in towns and cities were still fine with the traditional methods as they had access to the facilities.

Impact:

Education Sector - Students are the one's who are getting benefited the most. Gone are the times when you needed to go to USA/UK to study cutting edge technologies. Everything can be accessed just from anywhere.

Banking sector : No need to go to bank for money transfer or EMI payment or even taking Loans.

Agricultural sector: Farmers can directly connect with e-commerce companies and their stocks can be sold at a much higher price than earlier.

Social Media: Connect anywhere in the world, learn something from them and make friends.

There are many other impacts of DIGITALISATION:

Challenges and some solutions:

1. Internet Facility is not available everywhere, only around 40 per cent of people in India use the Internet.

Solution: before DIGITALISATION, there should be a discussion on how can we make internet available throughout India at an affordable price plus how less costly mobile phones or dedicated devices can be made, because, without it, the process is just a fake concept.

2. Trust: Indians still don't trust online sources for many reasons such as Fraud, etc.

Solution: The main problem is Digital Intelligence, people don't know which sites to open so that their data is safe and secure. This is prevalent mostly in Teenagers and the old generation. Timely online or offline digital Intelligence programmes which make people aware of the internet, its potential threats and security issues should be there. Otherwise, a digital attack (cyber attack) is just as easy as it could be on a digitally illiterate population.

Thank you.

Hello,

Digital India.

Launched by the Government of India on July 1, 2015, the initiative aims to connect citizens through electronic means and improve online infrastructure, internet connectivity and empower people digitally in the field of technology.

According to country digital adoption index, India is the second-fastest digital adopter among 17 major digital economies.

Sectors benefited are:

First are core digital sectors, such as IT-BPM, digital communications, and electronics manufacturing. Second are newly digitizing sectors such as financial services, agriculture, healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing, which are not traditionally considered part of India\'s digital economy but have the potential to rapidly adopt new technologies. Third are government services and labour markets, which can use digital technologies in new ways to make their work easier and accountable.
