Digital India will benefit us all. Digital India aims at making our country digitally strong. In administrative field we can do away with the bulks of "Dreadful pile of data" and store in cloud space. In education smart class rooms for our future and present children will increase the interaction between an average child and a teacher. Today children can access any physics related video with good animations which helps in generating interest in the minds of those children for physics, mathematics, arts, chemistry etc.

Digital India will bring high speed cable networks to villages which will connect the local Panchayats and empower our village people to connect with the world and raise their voices and demands.

It will also improve the dispensation of various government schemes for poor and bringing them benefits to their door steps.

Everything depends on how the government proceeds in terms of policy making. The policies should be stable and long term. Government should also focus on the increasing cases of cyber crimes.

At first, bigger Institutions only marketed their products to their end consumers but due to access to the internet in everyone's palms changed that trend. Now, even small businesses can reach out everywhere if there is enough demand. If one needs a product that can't be bought easily because of searching difficulty, that's not the case anymore. If one wants to share his knowledge, he can reach out to more people depending on the quality of that knowledge.

The first and foremost thing is that everything has pros and cons, the same stuff as 'DIGITALISATION'.

Firstly, the public can withdraw and deposit at any time at their fingertips, with no need to listen from banks that the current link fails or the system is not working because generally most of the bank's branch treats this type of excuse.

Secondly, Students can submit their exam fees in night also, I mean that they don't need to face the problem of Sunday closing, half Saturday, second Saturday and national holidays whatever.

Ultimately, UPI[Unified payments interface ] everyone knows about this government facility. According to NPCI, UPI transaction is still increasing day by day in our pragmatic life because it's so easy techniques to transfer from one A/c to another one without any transaction fee. It means the government is also promoting ONLINE transactions that's why they are not charging any types of fees.

Thus, Digitalisation will be increasing in the forthcoming days with a huge number of people.

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.
