Digital India is a backbone of developing country not the only view of the Economy growth but also social structure development. It also help to the middle background people development for education, skill development, learn how to utilizes the time and how to make a Entrepreneur as well as connection between social to the global network. Digital India is a very broad level education hub to connect to the people such as cashless transaction, education, Net banking, online shopping and online ticket booking etc. So, in the last conclusion, we can say that digital India is very beneficial to us.

Yes, Digital India is very powerful initiative kicked off by Government of India. It's an amazing scheme, with this we can save our money (paise) in decimals. It a positive step towards the time-saving paperless economy. Now everything is going to be transparent in India. It will help to fight with corruption, black money /Fake currency by a great extent. By the launching of this initiative people who were unaware of digital transitions became aware and now they are preferring online transition for different services like for shopping, the transition of money instead of wearing the cash burden in his pocket.

Its impact not only on common people but also on the government servant who is working in different public sectors especially in the banking sectors. Digital India initiative is largely helpful for poor people who are previously not getting benefits of various government schemes because money was not reached out to the intended one due to leakage (corruption). Now they will directly be benefited from various government schemes.

Good morning to one and all!

In today's life, we are enjoying the development of technology. It is not increasing day to day life, for every single minute we are getting advanced features & techniques. As our prime minister, Mr. Narendra Modi has implemented "digital India" mission we all are influenced by him and considered it as one of the parts in our lives. We are believing that as our responsibility to get updated for every new thing. Digital India to whom does it benefit is simply a silly question why because it is one of the reasons for peaceful & happy life to those who are using the technology in the right way. From morning onwards till we go to bed we are almost trying to finish the work through online bases like paying bills, purchasing the things, groceries, online classes, doctor's appointments, tickets booking etc. as it is easy & a simple way to lead our lives. In olden days to lead a simple life a person, essential needs are food, water & shelter. But today an extra feature has added to it that is "INTERNET". Based on our usage there will be advantages as well as disadvantages. So, use technology based on your interest.

Hi everyone,

Today we found a good topic for the discussion.

In my point of view, digital India gives the benefits everyone those who know how to use it?

1) All transition or transfer of money is transparent to the government. So, the chances of corruption will decrease.
2) It will also safe and save time for any transaction.

So the topic is "digital India: whom does it benefit", the answer is people of India. The question should be in which way it is helping. So how it's helping me in daily life I will tell you, earlier for booking a railway ticket I go to a city 30 km away from my home-town, now on my phone at home I can book my ticket, now I can book any kind of ticket online and also cancellation and refund is faster than earlier. For paying any electricity bill, paying at a merchant shop, at the mall is easier. The best thing is you don't have to carry any money with you so the safety of money is also there, booking a hotel, flight. Doing mobile, DTH recharge is all in your hand. Although it has not reached to any part of the rural India it is spreading day by day. As one said technology has it's own benefit and disbenefit, going online also put you at risk of hacking and all.

Digitalisation is a good approach for citizens of our country.

Digital India initiative by the PM, was well received by many top tech companies in Silicon Valley. Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook has invested in providing Internet to rural areas. Similarly, Google has created a new initiative of providing Internet access at railway stations across the country. We all must have read about the recent article on Newspaper that a railway worker had cracked a civil service exam, just by watching videos on YouTube. Many VC funds have invested in Indian startups, which encourages the Indian youth to pursue the Entrepreneurial path, which in turn creates more job opportunities for other Indians.

1. It reduces time and standing in a long queue.
2. One can book a ticket online by apps like irctc and uts.
3. Transparency and monitors black money.
4. As today nearly 65% of people have access to the internet so it becomes easy for transferring money by e-services provided by all banks instead of going to bank or atm.
5. It helps to save the environment By saving paper.
6. It is very useful for students who are unable to buy costly books.

But it has one demerit its easy for hackers if awareness among masses about cybercrime is not sufficient but conventional robbery and theft reduces.

Hello good evening all of you!

Well, as per my view, every coin has two sides it depends on you how you are taking it. This startup is started in India by our prime minister Narendra Modi on 1 May 2015. Anyone can see that there is a vast difference between today's scenario and that time. We are getting many facilities. To prove this I want to put my example previously if I want to go anywhere I have to book tickets by going railway station and there I have to waste time by standing in queue and instead of doing all this there is no surety that I would definitely get ticket but nowadays this becomes very easy for me I can book my ticket by any app like paytm, irctc. This is not only about ticket one can see the benefit of it in another field like study. Again I want to keep myself as a user right now I am college student even I attend classes regularly but somewhere when my professor is not able to complete syllabus then definitely I have to go on YouTube for further knowledge.

Below is some key point of its demerits which I want to highlight it:

1. Everyone is getting its benefits. Digital India is just the backbone of the country which not only increases its economy rather it helps in developing of any country.

2. It brings transparency between government and common people.

3. Moreover, largely helpful for poor who are not able to buy books they can easily study online by watching videos.

5. It reduces our time everywhere if you are in a bank you have to waste your time there but you can save it by doing online transactions.

As, I have already said that there is always pro and cons so if you are not aware of hackers you could be hacked by them so be aware!

My perspective is that digital India also provides demerits to society. People who are illiterate would face difficulty to use the technologies. This creates many mistakes. They have to seek help to use these.

It will also increase hacking. Hackers can easily steal personal information.

People can't use these technologies without having internet facilities. People can provide false information. This creates a huge loss of money.

Hello! everyone.

Digitalisation means an increase in technology that we use in our day to day life. That helps in our life to do work easier.

Benefits:

Digitalisation has many benefits like- it does our work easier. And digital India makes new technology that growth our India compare to another country. And it also leads to a good career in IT industries.

Demerits:

Digitalisation may also have demerits like it increase unemployment because in past generation when technology is not good developed. Many peoples work to do a single work in much time but at present technology is much developed and 1 or 2 peoples do that work that is done by many peoples so it leads to increase unemployment. And it is also dangerous for our account and another id that is hacked by hackers.

So talking about the benefits:

1) before we see that people have to wait in question in order to transfer their money now with digitalization then can easily do that with upi transactions.

2) it's also going to help small children if they have certain doubts in their subjects they can easily clarify those by searching online (youtube, google).

3) before digitalization people have certain ideas but they don't know how to implement them but now with this digital boom they are implementing those ideas and becoming entrepreneurs and they are becoming aware of the marketing strategies which is happening all around the world.

4) because of this digitalization India is becoming globally strong and many foreign countries want to invest in India and they are building their plants which is creating many job opportunities.

So, I think it's benefitting the entire nation not only a particular section of the society.
