The main aim of GOI is to making country digitally stronger. Digital India means making making the country digitally empowered in the field of technology. And according to my point of view it works on country because by using this we can save our precious time and also we can transfer money easily with the help of various sites but still its doesnt work on villages because of many people are still uneducated in village even they don't know how to use smartphones.

The digitalization has paved way for the development of the country. From standing in long queues for a money withdrawal or for booking of railway tickets, our life was tough. But now with the ease of technology, every job is made simple at our fingertips. All we need is a system and an internet connection. From reserving tickets for a journey to buying groceries for home, the digitalization grew.
The unlimited benefits have made people to move on to cashless transactions and this made way for a secure India.
The usage of internet have spread to the subrubs of our country. This has led to the equal utilisation of all the resources from any parts of the world.
Connecting with people or giving away funds during disaster are another benefits of digitisation. Hence, the benefits continue and India would soon change into a developed nation.

Good evening everyone.
I am Nitish. According to me, the digital India benefits for all because the one who has knowledge about the digitisation they work and earn from it but a person who is illiterate or uneducated also try to learn and after a short time he also learn how to work on it. So it benefits for all educated people works directly on it and another one learns to work and then work on it. Its a medium of fast education in a low cost.
Thank you for listening to me and have a great day.

I agree that digitalization has benefit, but when we see from the security side it is again a problem due to hacking.

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.

Digital India is very crucial step by our Indian government because the time has come to compete with other country. INDIA is counting as a developing country from a huge time. But the question is whom does it benefit?, I think our young generation make it successful but our farmer community and our older generation can't get it benefited because they never want to involve themselves in these due to security reason. I think it is more successful when the citizen of India is get more education in new technology. So, they can teach others and make it popular in India.

Digital India seems like a good concept seeking to make the life of citizens more convenient. But one need to realize that no data in the internet is safe no matter how contrary the claims may be. For example, digital countries like Estonia, Finland and Singapore all had been hacked multiple times compromising millions of personal information of its citizens. In one instance, the government had to renew the identification id of its citizens to prevent identity theft. Even in India, RBI reported thousands of cases of frauds involving ATM/Debit cards, internet banking from 2015-2018. So the facts do not favour digitization. One might ask "what is the use of my information?" One study said the compromised data is sold in dark web at cheap prices where data diggers further manipulate your data. It is not wise to compromise with one's personal data in exchange for momentary comfort. There are still many countries that are not digital, like China, Russia, Germany, Italy, France etc. India should instead invest in other problems.
