Hello everyone, myself Varsha Chaudhary, I am from Greater Noida.

Digital India is a great step by our government. It is started by our prime minister Mr. Narendra Modi. It makes our life easier and reduces time and stress. For example, we can pay money one state to another state and purchase online products, food order, travelling and hotel booking easily at home. Thus we don't need to carry a lot of cash anywhere. And now Every document can be saved in digital lockers safely. We can work from home, we can also get knowledge any time anywhere through internet.

So, I am in support of Digital India.

Thank you.

As every coin has two sides, the Cashless transactions have many advantages with some disadvantages.

Talking about advantages, it reduces corruption as we can reach to direct seller, no third party is involved. Anyone can go anywhere without single money in his pocket so money cannot be stolen.

But we should also consider the other side of it. Nowadays, money fraud, hacking, these types of bad things are occurring. So we cannot ignore it. Also, people in a rural area, they don't have enough knowledge to do online transactions. People like farmer, milk man, they all want a hand to hand transaction because of they afraid of this. So, I think there should be much awareness of the thing 'Digital India'.

According to my perspective, Digital India was a boon to the Indian economy but at the same time, it had several disadvantages also.

First, talking about the positive pursuit of digitalisation, the problem of theft has declined, corruption reduced at a somewhat lower level, education system enhanced and the most beneficiary segment was the banking system. Hassle-free banking was one of the dreams of Indians a few years ago. This came true with the advent of digitalisation. Now no long queues are seen, no dominance of employees is tolerated as everything is done from your smartphone itself.

Now talking about its disadvantages, Digital India is not meant for weaker sections of society as most of the people belonging to lower poor class still don't have smartphones, due to which they can't use this method of paying money online. The second issue is, in India the literacy rate is still not so boosted, hence many people still suffer from the problem of understanding the methodology. The last issue which made digitalisation a problem for most of the Indians was working Internet connections. Many times your mobile does not have a valid data pack due to which you suffer there. Hence to conclude, according to me digital India had both positive as well as negative sides.

I think in my point of view, digital India is great initiative taken by our government.

Yes, it's a true fact that everything has pros and cons. If you see in pros it reduces the frauds, an and increase the humans comfort like we can pay any bill from any where there is no need to be lines for paying electric bills, for money transfer s in bank, an all.

That means you go through the pros there are many we can describe in just a comment box.

Let's move to the cons it's the main heading of every scheme.

How it affects to the people and whom it would affect most of our population leave s in the village they are not aware of digital India online banking. That means they are directly affected they may face problem s because of demonetization an all.

According to me.

Every thought contains two way.

In a positive way;

Digital India is the most effective thought we can say that now this era nothing is possible without digitalization.

Many works are becoming easy with digitalization. I'm taking one example before few years whenever we are going to submit any resume, exam form extra it was taking time.

Now this time it takes hardly 2 minutes. Security is much effective with digital way, corruption is on the verge of erasing. We can see anything at home no need to go outside.

In a negative way;

India's literacy is not so good lot of people when they are going to use the digital way they are mistaken lack of knowledge. The network must be available for the digital process but some time when the weather becomes not so good network will be lost when it failed.

So.

Finally, we can say that it has both a positive and negative perspective but with time positive part definitely will be dominant.

Digital India is one of the best initiative taken by our P. M. Modi. This seems that India is putting a step forward towards development. This digital India mainly helps to literate old age people who can't wait and stand hours together in lines at banks. But the main drawback is lack of literacy rate in India mainly in rural areas it will effect more.

Hello everyone!

Digitalisation has both a positive and negative aspect.

Firstly, if we talk about positive changes through this is that it makes everything easy. There are services provided through which we can do all our from home like booking tickets, shopping, tranfering funds n so on. This really improves the growth of the economy. Nowadays everyone is learning how to use smartphones to do online transactions, do shopping, paying bills etc.

On the other hand, if we talk about the negative aspect of digitalisation the main problem in India is illiteracy because of this many people suffer they hesitate to use this kind of technology because of some trust issues and also internet connections. Mainly in rural areas, people don't know the methodology of using different apps and all.

So, I conclude now by saying that digitalisation has both a positive and negative aspect.

Thank You!

Hello everyone, it's Mrunal.

In my opinion, Digital India plays a vital role in the Indian economy. It is a very good initiative taken by our Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi. It is the step towards the digital empowerment of India.

It is beneficial to the people who have busy schedules & not having time to do the tasks physically being there. They can take benefits of online transactions. It's very useful in daily life. Considering my example, my father pays for my mess bills by using online transactions. It saves his time instead of being in a queue in the banks. There are many examples of this digital India concept. Really, it helps for human comfort as well as transparent procedures.

As everything has pros and cons, this digital India concept also has some drawbacks. The main thing is illiterate people in a rural area. India does not have that much literacy rate. The people who are not literate, they don't easily trust on this online transaction and all. It is a difficult task to make them aware of the same.

So, finally focusing on the positive side, we should try to take a step forward to be part of digital India & try at our level to make people aware of this.

Hello friends, am Charmitha.

First of all, I would like to appreciate our PM Shri. Narendra Modi and team for the initiative of the project "Digital India". The main motive of this project is to transform our county into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy. So in that way, it's obviously a benefit for our society which empowers every citizen in our country to participate in digital and e-services. There are many advantages of digital India project which includes high-speed internet connectivity in rural areas and e-governance services to participate in financial space digitally, from cradle to grave digital identity is unique, online and authenticable for every citizen. And it also paves the way for job opportunities as everything became digital using information technology. What more benefit is needed than this for our society to empower our country.

Good evening.

As every aspect has pros And cons. Digital India to have.

Literacy rates of India are not too high so it's difficult for those people to handle and understand procedures. But at the same, it saves a lot of time for people with busy schedules.
