Digital India: Whom Does it Benefit?

Digital India is a great initiative by the Indian government. It gave so many benefits like cash-free transactions, low broker fee, fast transactions, national and international news and information on our hand, the government can easily spread there policy.

Let's see what it is all about.

Digital India is an initiative by the Indian government to get India digitalized. To make everybody rely on the internet and to do most of the work is possible, payment through the internet and sending some crucial data to others quickly, as well as getting their government ids and other papers digitally.

So the main focus of the government is on these three aspects :

i. Development of stable and secure digital infrastructure

To get digital what a country needs is an infrastructure to have fast speed internet in cheap. So infrastructure related to it must be developed. Also, it must have other facilities like money transfer so the internet must be secured.

These are aspects within it :

---- High-speed internet as a core utility
---- Cradle-to-grave digital identity
---- Participation in digital & financial space through mobiles & banking
---- Easy access to a Common Service Centre (CSC)
---- Shareable private space on a public cloud

ii. Universal digital literacy.

India cannot become digital until everybody knows how to operate the internet and computers. So a great initiative by the government took is UNIVERSAL DIGITAL LITERACY. Here the government aims to make at least one member from each home to get digital literacy. The program is free.

iii. Deliverance of government services digitally

Now, if we have internet, we are ready to dive into the digital world then why the government should remain behind; after all, it was what the government wanted and what today's societies need is. So the government is now ready to provide every essential document, announcement through the internet, via youtube ad or official news channel through Rajya sabha tv and otherways.

So all this is what the government wanted. Isn't it? Now what? What are our benefits? What do we lose by it? Let us discuss this.

Advantages :

1. Today, a large population has internet. So we can connect with whom we want.
2. We can find our lost ids on the internet in seconds.
3. We don't have to waste time in long queues in the railway station, banks, ATMs, etc. to book ticket, transfer cash and withdrawing money.
4. If we don't have money, no problem. UPI to the rescue. Every seller has UPI now.
5. It is true that everybody now has their mobile phone with them. Now you won't have to carry documents from one place to another because now you can have it on your phone, and if needed, you can get its hardcopy anywhere.
6. People are getting digital literacy for free through government schemes. Now, one will learn, and they will teach their family members.
7. This reduces paperwork as well, (sigh) trees will be saved.

Disadvantages :

Jobs cut will occur. Unemployment will increase.
Personal data is with the government. We don't know when they can sell our data.

So is it good for us? It seems to be good until unless our data is not purely safe. It must be out of reach from everybody. it must be private such that even the government or even our parents can't have it. If it is not that safe, no matter how digitalized the world gets, the insecurity will always prevail in public. You must study about Edward Snowden. You will find something to ponder upon.

Thank you.

Digitalisation actually covers all most all the fields that include education, defence, medical services, businesses etc.

If need to be said with respect to age, then I don't think any one from any age group will get disappointed. Digitalisation majorly helps governments in providing transparency in transactions. Since technology has out of the box, there is no talk of worrying about the privacy and safety. Digitalisation helps people in exploring newer things that they usually think are out of their reach, hence breaking the traditional boundaries.

There are certain talks that say how digitalisation has made man lazier than ever. But this is not the case with the most. Its all about perspective. The broader section that digitalisation helps is students/ researchers. In fact people are getting up on their knees to discover something that helps the mankind.

The initiative of digitalization of our nation is a major step towards becoming a leading country in the present scenario. Transparency is increasing, gradual reduction of corruption and people are aware of technologies and so on but here one thing should be noted that is it going to be same? Because when we talk about this then a major part of people left behind as. Illiterate, many farmers, and no of person who are not capable to do so they don't know the use of digital economy, marketing etc. Concept of digital India should be launched years ago, it will help our overall nation to grow in the world.

It will help in controlling black money, the corruption that will surely improve our economic conditions.

It will also help the government to provide basic amenities to poor people directly which will again lead to a nation's growth.

Hello everyone,

I hope you all are doing better in this pandemic situation.

As, we are discussing about the digital India so, in my opinion, digitalization is one the most important thing in the current time. We require digitilization in each and every field from farming to the manufaturing of goods. Even in the present India is sharply taking steps toward digitalization.

But, There are some barriers as well i.e., the digital robbery. Digial robbery can be done easily in comparison of physical robbery by hackers if there will not proper security for our account. So, we require a proper planning to start digialization in any area. And then surely we will get a proper output whatever we require.

Digital technology is contributing different way for example avoiding the black money and corruption will reduce significantly.

How to help digital technology for the common man?

Nowadays anyone common human daily using domestic products bought and buy that person involve country finance that person should be using digital technology country GDP automatically increase this small example for digital technology benefit of the country.

Hi, everyone.

Digital India is a developed by Indian Prime Minister Modi. Digital India is the most important thing to develop our country. Modi said must be important in our countries digitalization. We have used in online money transfer a few minutes and sent to the few second. Most of the people say us digital not secure method because many fraud cases look a daily life and newspaper.

Digitization in India is no doubt a boon to citizens of India. This is a flagship programme of Government of India to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy.

1) e-governance to avoid red-tapism: Bridging the gap between government and citizens. It may be in the banking sector, land recording, police n law, transportation etc.

2) Less paperwork which has a huge impact on the environment.

3) If you have adequate knowledge to teach, you can do it by sitting any corner of the world. The same thing is applicable if you a knowledge hunter. So, Online Learning is very necessary for this pandemic situation.

Hello friends. I am Yogendra Singh, a competitive exams aspirants.

Today our topic is digital India: whom does it benefit?

In my point of view, digitalisation of a country shows that how the country developed. Most of the developed countries are also fully digitalised.

In India, Digital India scheme is launched in 2015 by our honourable pm Shri Narendra Modi with a vision to connect every gram panchayat with internet and digitalisation of India proves a boon in a covid pandemic when school and coachings come online and many jobholders finish their work online and don't get unemployed and even in lockdown period online booking of essential things and delivered at home also in containment zones helps people to fight against covid19.

In shorts directly benefit of digital India is to people of India and digitalisation brings more transparency in govt scheme as those got online like pm Kisaan, pmjay and many more.

Thank you.

Hello, I am Gourav Sharma. I'm happy for this opportunity according to me, digitalization of any part or sector is very important to make a country digital. It is a good scheme that is launched by our honourable prime minister Narendra Modi in July 2015. It takes a little time to pay bills, booking the tickets. Time is very precious and we can save our time by digitalization as well as extra money also. At Corona time, this is the only thing that helps us to do our study and do our works. So we realise that digitalization is the main part of us. Thank you, everyone.
