Digital India: Whom Does it Benefit?

Hi myself Mansi. And my point is digital India has great importance in daily life. If we go for a market with our frnd. And we like something that we willing want. Then digital India helps us to buy. In many sectors like railway, with the help of IRCTC we can easily do our ticket without any trouble Paying electricity bills, telephone bills, etc all are possible with digital India or cashless India.

Good morning everyone! Our topic today is whom gets benefitted by digital India, and my answer is everyone. Because the primary moto of digital India is to increase the transactions online and to reduce the circulation of cash. Its indeed really a good method to improve the safety of one's money. Also, we can save time since there is no need to visit our bank to deposit cash. Also, the negative part is that there are chances of fraud while handling money, hence we need to be more careful and should not share our personal bank details with anyone.

Hi friends.

Online education makes us environmentally friendly, as it reduces paper waste that may be a burden to our environment.

"Digital India", a great revolutionary initiative taken by our government. It has lot to do with the development of our country. It has actually created a platform for people to share or gain knowledge from. Online transactions of money help us a lot in saving time, avoiding long queues in bank and carrying bulk of money with us. It creates transparency in money transactions and can help in reducing corruption. It helps in our inevitable paper works to be avoided by doing all the paperwork online, paperwork done online gives us more precise and fast results than offline paperwork. Also, we are able to connect to people through internet. But to get all this benefits, digital knowledge is a must. Perhaps, it will take some time but will be a great step for the development of our country.

Digital India is the initiative by Indian Government and this has helped a lot in bringing the business online making payment through online traction mode such as Paytm, Goggle Pay, Phone Pay etc. Nowadays dependency on cash as rapidly gone down just because of the digital India Initiative, and as far as the awareness of people to use digital platforms is concerned so it is not a big deal, it is not rocket science at all to use digital modes. After the outbreak of COVID 19 virus these digital modes of the transaction are the safer mode compared to carrying cash because notes can be contagious and may carry the virus. Digital India has also helped small businessmen to bring their business online. Paperwork has also been reduced as your all data is submitted online and that has also reduced the corruption rate.

Thank you.

In today's scenario, the entire world became so advanced as the time going they also boost their way of response. Now, Indian government also has taken a prominent step towards cashless facility to every sector in order to connect the demand of globalization's world. And also to ensure more secure and safe medium of exchange as now a day's carry to much cash is also case threat to theif Soo in order secure our money as well as transaction we must have to learn online medium of exchange. As our Indian government launches a BHIM app to our transaction. So must have learned and try to educate others how to deal with this problem and how much secure cashless transaction is. That is possible by literate more and more people's government should also be taken a step to spread awareness about the cashless economy.

"Digital India" is one step to make India a superpower, Digital India initiative is taken to benefit each and every sector of our country and by this now everything is easily accessible to people of the country. Now by digital India most important thing we got is an online education platform for everyone which is free of cost and this hugely removes the gap between rich people and poor people because now everyone can get quality education at a very less price for the internet.

Digital India initiative also helps from small businessmen to rich organizations because now everyone can get detail information about there product. By this also Black money reduces and tax collection increases because now people don't pay through cash they direct send it to there bank account. By this now each and every information whether it related to govt or pvt is easily available.

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.

Yes, friend, I agree with your opinion. But as per my opinion our India doing best because as we know that technologically we are best but as per the development we are so lagging. We know that as compare to other countries like. Take an example of Japan what they developed their military with advance technology as well as digital school and so on.

Hello, it's Mangesh.

In my opinion, digital India is a great initiative taken by our government. The benefit of digitalization is unlimited as it saves time, cost, etc. But the point is that the lot of people of our country does not about the digitalization so the government should before going in to, they should create the awareness, what are there advantage, how this helpful to us. Ones they know how this will impact their life than automatically uses will increases. Currently, most of the use of digitalization are taken by high or middle-level groups, so we should encourage the lower level & backward section to get the benefit of this digitalization. Ultimately this will help to grow our economy.
