Digital India is a nation which was introduced by pm of India after the decision of Note ban, at the earlier it was a very strange and rare concept for the masses of India but later it took the unbelievable scope and now not only in Metropolitan but also in rural areas people are using it very effectively, Continuously and day by day New user of it is adding.
First and foremost, it's bliss for us and we get rid of carrying money in our pocket and we are getting relief from stealing of money which normally does in our country. Furthermore, Tax evasion is very common in India and undoubtedly this is the main concern that led India towards poverty, imbalance of development and unemployment as well but, due to digital transaction every single business even we spend 1 Rupya it tracks and all records saved in required system and government are easily getting all set taxes on the transaction. It enhanced transparency, accuracy and eradicated corruption and we are on the verge of digital business.
On another hand, every coin has two sides so this dogmas also has the Least problem with it i.e. in most of areas resources of digital transaction not available and apart from these, it requires little bit of knowledge of technology or at least the operation of a transaction, which makes fear that in some cases illiterate People will have to face the problem of cheating or deception although, since it's existence we have not found more such cases so we can say that "Digital India Success " and its totally in the welfare of common man and too much benevolent.

Hi friends.
My name is Narendra and we are going to a topic Digital India Whom it Benefits.
As we know due to the covid pandemic everything stopped but one thing that helped us to stay in a home is the internet which is considered the backbone of Digital India.
Every coin has its two sides similarly every situation has its own pros and cons.
While talking about the pros.
1) Before digitization we used to stand in a long queue for booking of train tickets but due to the availability online platform, we can do it from our bed with safe and fast.
2) Online education platform like the Diksha app boost students thinking and imagination capabilities similarly now QR codes are available for each book so no need to carry a heavy book everywhere when we have a smartphone.
3) Online transaction helped us a lot while paying fees of colleges, exams, tuition within a fraction of a second similarly we can do shopping without going to crowded market places.
While talking about the cons.
1) Data privacy is one of the major issue today we are facing because whatever you type on google same product advertisement you will get on next day.
2) Excessive use of social media like TikTok, Instagram makes people addictive and distract students from their predefined goals.
3) People from rural part are facing many issues regarding digital Indian and the main reason I think is improper network and infrastructure.
The digital platform is like two edge sword it can help you as well harm you it depend on how you use it.
This was from my side thank you.

DIGITALIZATION a dream of our honourable P.M.Modi. This was put a long time back. Peeping into past true digitalization started under the era of Rajiv Gandhi who had pioneered and introduced computer and began this tech era.
But we are lagging so far, it has been almost 50 years still we are dragging for digital India.
A question arises will it ever become possible in a country like India. As every coin has two sides the challenge also had. In this pandemic, all of us have undergone multiple difficulties but somewhere it has been reduced. And credit goes to step towards Digital India. We have been able to recognize the deeds done by our doctors, nurses, police officers, cleanliness workers. All have done their part extraordinarily in this critical situation.
During this time also student are able to continue their studies undoubtedly they might have to face some issue but it has been lessened due to this. Our learning system has transformed completely and including both teacher and students become adaptive. If digitalization were not there education system will be at a halt for an indefinite time. Being optimistic COVID 19 has opened various opportunities to learn at home, work from home and all this is performed only because many of us are becoming techno-savvy. Still, it required some more time to reach at rural area but definitely it will be possible soon.
All our belief has been revolutionized we are not waiting for things when will will as usual.
We have started and learned from this difficulties also that stay going.

Digitalization is a big step taken by our prime minister Mr Narendra Modi.
In the beginning, it was tough for the uneducated people to adjust to it but after few years, they are also compatible by using this scheme.
Its main purpose is to make our India digital as we all have seen many advantages of this scheme since this scheme introduced we used to do most of our works online as we like to do online shopping and it's easy for us and making our life so comfortable.
We used to do online transactions instead of going to the bank and standing in a queue and waiting for long hours.
Now in this pandemic, we are unable to go outside but because of this digitization we are able to do our most of the works online by sitting at home as for us our classes are being scheduled online on the different online platform and we are using most of the study material from the internet in few words I just want to say we have connected and are contributing ourself in this scheme and it's very helpful for all of us it's saving our time and it's also increasing the source for earning money.
As everything has its some advantages and disadvantages so it also has as because of using mobile and computer we are facing health issues and the chances of cybercrime increases and youth are taking less part in the physical environment and there are many other cons of it.
I just want to say don't do misuse of this scheme and use it in positive acts and by contributing yourself in this scheme make our country as DIGITAL INDIA and make it more strong.

Hello, the topic for discussion is "Digital India: Whom does it benefit?".
As we know after demonetization, our government has taken the initiative to digitalize India. But is the effect equally beneficiary to all?
Well, I don't think so! Our country is developing and it has pulled a large population online, but not all. Digital India is benefiting only a certain population mainly centred to educated, developed and rich people exposed to smartphones, computers and the internet. In our country a huge population is illiterate, living in villages or small towns. They don't even have electricity connection in their houses, forget about smartphones and internet connectivity.
Certainly going digital makes things easily done and also eradicate corruption to a great extent but we need digital India to propagate to underprivileged people too because they are also part of our economy. You cannot actually develop a country without developing its poor and underprivileged people. We need to educate them at a lower cost, provide basic facilities like electricity, water etc. Also, create awareness among them what empowerment internet can bring into their lives and society. Then only we can say India "Digital".
To wrap up the discussion I would like to say that India is progressing digital and number too is increasing but not benefiting a large population yet. So it's very important to add poor, underprivileged people into this list then only we can see the sustainable and revolutionary effect of being digital.
Thank you!

In my point of view, I have 2 opinions about this issue they are-.
1) Coming to the benefits of this scheme, it is very beneficial for every sector and also for every person with proper usage. Nowadays we can pay the current bills, phone bills, debts by simply sitting in our house with the help of a small gadget i.e. cellphone and even if we go to bank there is no need to wait in the queue for our turn we can simply book the token in advance and then we can complete our work in a few minutes, even the government will credit the fees reimbursement to the students and pensions to the elder and physically challenged people to their own bank accounts-all these are due to the advancement in the technology which is digital India. So it is very beneficial for everyone one in society and for the government.
2) In my perception, every situation will definitely have pros and cons of an issue so if we wish to have more pros than the cons of issue then we have to improve the situation to be more beneficial with our support, for the sake of Digital India we the people who are aware of technical knowledge must have to share our knowledge with the people who are lack of this skill for example illiterates, farmers, poor students, etc. , we must make them aware of malpractices through the internet and cybercrimes. Because the government is not only the one who is responsible for the development of society. Every citizen is responsible for the progress of our economy then only every person will be benefitted with this scheme.

Digitalization means digitizing everything that can be digitized. According to me it is beneficial, as it will help our country to move from developing zone to developed zone.
Advantages:.
1. No need to waste our time, by standing in long queues waiting for our chance to make transaction in banks. We can do that sitting at home, it will just be a click away and will hardly take few minutes.
2. All transaction will be cashless and the problem of change that exist every now and then will not exist in the future.
3. Sitting at home we can book flight tickets, train tickets, movie tickets.
4. There will be no need to visit every shop while shopping, we can sit at home and have access to the websites of various shops and can have a look at variety of options.
5. Criminal activities and corruption will be reduced to a very large extent because all the transactions get recorded in database and there is no risk of losing data.
6. Because of digitalization use of paper will be reduced to a very large extent and hence deforestation will also be reduced.
Some people say it is not for those people who are not educated but that problem can be solved if government conducts programs to teach those people how to access the system.
Year by year number of educated people in our country is increasing and most probably in the future almost everyone will be educated.
So, Digitalization is needed. It is Important that uneducated and rural people should be given a chance to develop or else how are they going to develop.

In addition to the points mentioned, I would like to add that Digitisation is helpful to us citizens by making various systems like payments, the award of contracts etc more transparent which helps in reducing corruption. It is also helpful to us citizens by providing us with speed and simple delivery of useful services.
It is beneficial for the government by reducing the manpower and infrastructure needed to provide useful services. This helps in reducing the cost of providing services translating into finds availability for other useful development projects.
It is beneficial for businesses by making the system transparent and easy which translates into greater profit. It also generates jobs in it services solving the problem of unemployment.
Every form of printed currency occurs some cost in manufacturing or printing, this depreciates the value of our currency. So, use of digital solutions provided by paytm or mobikwik indirectly helps in strengthening of the rupee.
However, the benefit is not available to those areas of our country which has poor or no internet services. Similarly, though most people were quick to adapt to the digital solutions but digital illiteracy of senior citizens or poor sections make them alien to the digital benefits.
Therefore to increase the reach of the benefits the government must invest in spreading digital literacy and also invest in infrastructure in rural or remote areas that will bring internet or digital services to the doorstep of all citizens of India.

Hello all,
As we all know, we are in 21st century coming a long way from stone age to place where everything has come in our finger tips. Today is an era of Digitization and Industrialization. In world, every country is competing with other countries to provide best digital service to people and somehow India was lagging behind in digital era. Thus, Digital India campaign is a very encouraging and lucrative step launched by honorable prime minister Narendra Modi by not limiting the people of India to only paper and pen taking them to present scenario and making them compatible with the world.
The journey to Digital India may be long but taking a step will always help to reach destiny. Furthermore, there are numerous pros to digitization.
Pros:
1. Our day to day activities will be done with only a small span of time without stress.
2. Saving tress, by not using papers and everything being available online.
3. Especially helpful for old age people who don't need to travel anymore.
4. Creating a lot of job opportunities for young people in the digital world and making them capable to compete with the world.
5. Saving a lot of time which is very precious.
Cons:
1. Will make our life inactive, however, that differs from person to person.
2. May affect health but then also, Fit India campaign has been launched.
As of now, I only remember these, but there can be more pros and cons. Time is the most precious thing which is being saved by going digital and making India more digitally independent.
