Hello everyone!
Well, Digital India as the name suggests is more and more use of digital applications. This digital platform provides ease of access for the people. Like, if we have the seller and the buyer, the buyer after purchasing something pays the seller digitally which benefit both of them. Using the digital platform saves a lot of time, paperwork for maintaining record etc. There is also some sense of security in the digital platform as it is properly authenticated.
On the other side, if we see the whole nation, then we have more than 50% of people who are still uneducated. They even don't know about the technologic basic stuff. There are many villages in the country which lacks electricity, proper education, digital training etc. Many businessmen even today prefer cash over the digital platform. I hope you all know the reason for this.
Well, the main point is that people who are working with gadgets in the modern world opt for the digital platform and that is good. But, what about the people who are comfortable with their own tradition of money, cheques, paper works etc. What about the uneducated or unskilled people of our nation? What about the rich businessmen who illegally earn black money? These are some questions which I think should be sorted out then only, Digital India can benefit the nation.
At last, I would like to say that Digital India can be the major boost for people as well as economy of India if promoted in the right way.

Digitalisation help also in the education system. Students take more interesting in listings study online videos.
Many apps have been developed for students education. Digital also help in student admission cells. Storing their database.
Nowadays biometric systems develop in each and every sector. Which is good it is helpful for notice or detecting the absenteeism of employees in a quick manner.
It having disadvantages if there is some technical issues in the internet for sharing views in the remote area also. It also helps for online transaction ie nothing but a money transfer.
It is easy to use and also time-consuming and we can access it anywhere.
It also helps for those household peoples for eg person what to cook recipe something but they don't have so much knowledge about that recipe. How to start this recipe. What are in ingredients so directly google it get more information related that recipe.
So digital change the life of people who unaware about everything what going on life.

Hello everyone,
Today we are here to discuss the topic which has been given to us is "digitalization" our current govt take some steps to digitalise India in a proper way. The digital world makes a great impact on our day to day life.
1. The digital world makes our life easier like in a lot of ways.
A. Money transaction is possible by our handsets through paytm, bhim, phonepay, tez, googlepay etc applications. We don't have to wait in a long queue for money transaction.
2. We can order our daily necessities like vegetables, groceries, medicines even food can be served in our doorsteps through our mobile phone in few minutes. Thus we can do our other important works with our extra time which is been saved with the help of digital technology.
3. We can also book our tickets of flights, trains, and also cabs for our daily purposes.
4. As for other advantages, we can also access the whole world with the help of our handset, we can know many things through google.
As people said there are two sides of a coin, there are also some disadvantages of it.
The main cause of the disadvantages of digital technology is illiteracy.
Mainly in a rural area, ordinary people do not know the meaning of digitalisation. So those people can be benefited by digital technology.
If we want to improve ourselves as a whole country then we have to increase the rate of literacy initially.
Then our country will emerge as a developed country future.

Digital India, it means what ever the legislation is going on up to the India only so off course Indians are going to be beneficiary.
Digital India means every things are going to be digitalized it could be your transection, booking, purchasing process and so many things. The way of digitalization is very much safe just some precautions we need take care. Those who are illiterate or those people who don't how to use so to avoid this kind of issues government should take care of all consequences means positive as well as negative according to the consequence government has to plan solution of all consequences like I mentioned above one issue regarding unaware people so for them they can do proper advertisement regarding any legislation through that advertisement they can spread awareness regarding precautions like one example nowadays, banking system has been digitalized which is very secure but into that process we have to take care OTP which is should not share with any one else. In short I just wanna say digitalization is very good approach for our India that process is putting our country more closer to the success. But at the same time we have to take care if the government is not able to reach out across the country being an Indian its our job to make aware our society this is very saintly job like social work. My major opinion regarding this topic is that change is the rule of nature so try to adapt yourself thank you.

DIGITAL INDIA, means we are in a digitalization world, and it provides our advantage like we can do payment online through Phon pay Paytm and we are now the international news in one or two seconds.
And 5G has do very advanced work in the tech field because of new work like drone delivery and automobile field driving automation.
We can easily know which we are wanting to know and it's very important for our new generation because they are connected online and explore a new world and they can learn everything, which they want. They also share their knowledge with the world.
We can see in movies like ironman, robots, AI and the new technology which we are this time use, it's not new because in the technology field America Japan etc. Are very advance related to our technology so it's good that we are growing in the tech field very fast during corona time.
And we also have some advantages in the tech field because of Jio comes, and our tech field knowledge also increases internet in India very cheaper than in other counties only reason of the Jio revolution.
And it has both advantages and disadvantages so if we are talking about some disadvantages that are harmful to those teenagers who see porn and other misleading things that do mind wash of youth.
It is important that knowledge related to sex education gives with genuine and understanding them the benefits of technology not misuse of technology.
Thanks to all of you.

Obviously, us, each person who are using or not using the digital medium is getting benefit from it. First, consider those people who use the digital medium to make their work effortless, no one wants to stand in a long hours queue just to get a movie ticket, bus ticket, train ticket. A simple three or four clicks on our smartphones can get us a ticket in our home only. We are also able to save time from bank work as these banks demand a lot of time for an easy task like we can pay online fees rather than using conventional mode. Now talking about lower class people who don't have any knowledge about the digital medium and cashless world, they are also getting little benefit from this as they are facing short queue in banks and booking tickets because people are using cashless method over conventional one, so less population in these sectors.
People are afraid of cyber attacks and hackers that's why they don't prefer any digital medium. We can only reduce these attacks but we can't eradicate them out from the cyber world. These evil type of personality will not leave this world they are present from ancient times, they have only changed the medium to loot the innocent people. Back in time, we had faced so many burglars, thugs and thieves and in present we are facing hackers and the dark world of cyber. We can only upgrade our digital knowledge to make it strong and safe.
Thank you.
Digital India is the new India!

Digital India is a dream for our honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.
As the coin has two sides similarly everything has its merits and demerits. Digitalization has been benefiting us in many sectors in this pandemic. The sectors like Banking Transactions, Food deliveries, Online Study, Work from home and so many ways. Imagine this pandemic 10 years back, it seems that it would be uneasy and tough for us to survive without these facilities. We have the data about the viruses, its effects on the human body, and its medicines of earlier pandemic situations like Malaria, Swinflu, HIV, etc. We are using these data to find out the medicine for COVID-19. This is only possible with the help of developing technologies and the digital world. Many vaccines like Gam-COVID that is given by Russia for 1/2 phase COVID cases is one of the best example and hopefully we will be able to find out a proper vaccine very soon. Till then we can work and getting food deliveries in one call, we can talk to our family and friend this is such a boon for all of us. The demerits are only because of misuse of the data and technology and this is just because of some of the greedy people who want to get benefitted illegally in a criminal way. Piracy, Conspiracy, Hacking accounts, Cheating are such issues that need to be worked upon by developing some more strong technologies, and security should be provided to our data.

Digital India will enable investment of 4.5 lakh crores and ensure jobs for 18 lakh people.
India government is promoting content in local languages in the internet.

Hi ,
It's a great topic to discuss nowadays as we are shifting from the traditional world to the digital world. Earlier we people used to cash but now we have seen many people have shifted towards digital services. They used to do every transactions through net banking, UPI or Debit/Credit Card.
If I talk about the merits and demerits of Digital services:
Merits:.
1. Easy to access for the people who are literate.
2. No need of carrying cash result into mitigating cash theft.
3. Record of every transaction.
4. No need to stand in a queue for any application form in banks, post offices, or any government offices.
Demerits:
1. A person who is literate can only take the advantage of Digital products.
2. It will take many years to move this into rural India. This is the biggest disadvantage of Digital services. As we all know 60-65% of people lives in rural India.
3. Connectivity is also a problem in India especially in rural and Semi-urban places.
Now move to whom does it benefit:
1. Currently pandemic is going on, Digital services play an important role in the whole world in terms of online shopping which includes grocery, veggies, fruits and other essentials, Meetings on various software, taking a loan or any banking services, Online education, consultation with a doctor etc.
2. People are doing their businesses online which will result in GDP growth if we see from a macro perspective.
