Digital India: Whom Does it Benefit?

Hi.

I am Tejas T Devakate.
The group discussion topic is Digital India:Whom Does it Benefit?
The India Government launched the programme Digital India in the year 2017.
The Digital India Benefit to Market.

Digital Means the electronic devices as well as circuits.

Digitisation hasn't benefited a single sector but has progressive influence in all sectors whether it be educational, commercial, medical, banking etc.

Amidst corona pandemic when all avenues of income were shut digitisation has been a helping hand in otherwise declining economy.

With the curtailment of long queues in Banks, railway counter, shopping mall to online trading in stock market, imparting online education India has come a long way.

It has virtually eliminated the need of classroom studies and one can be well acquainted of any topic.

Online medical consultation has been a growing trend in recent times where in we get medical aid at minimal time.

Further, from booking tickets to booking cab has turned out to be matter of few minutes.

The advent of online retailers Amazon, flipkart has decreased the need of infrastructure where huge investment is involved.

Hence, if stringent policies against cyber crimes are implemented to enhance a safe digital environment then digitisation by all means would be a huge blessing.

Hi,

One of the significant advantages of digitization is how easy and fast our day-to-day life will become.

For example, online shopping or online banking can be done within a few minutes from a safe location such as our homes, which is a benefit not only because it is comfortable but also because it reduces people's chances of getting robbed. Digitization is also useful when there is an urgent need for something, like paying for urgent surgery in a hospital.

The only thing that is of concern is that not many people will be aware of how to use the features online or be aware of the possible online frauds. Online scamming will increase with increased digitization. That can make people not want to use these facilities or make them susceptible to online fraud, leading to losing money. It is crucial to either educate everyone or protect everyone from these scams because without doing that, it will be challenging to run the digitization smoothly.

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.

Nowadays digital India plays a very important role in the Indian economy also digitalization makes easy payment we can't stand in a long queue for payment in the bank we use several different apps like paytm, phone pay for payment. Now India becoming the first country in the world who doing the highest digital payment.

So lastly, I conclude that digital India is a good step take by the government of India.

Hello everyone myself Navyasri.

I shall discuss on Digital India.

Digital India is launched by government of India in 2015. In order to ensure the Government's services are made available to citizens electronically by improved online infrastructure and by increasing Internet connectivity or making the country digitally empowered in the field of technology.

By using this government services are easily available citizens can also easily access the service.

Schemes of digital India is mainly used for education, retails shops to pay the money for goods, booking our tickets and we pay electricity bills etc. In pandemic situation digitalization is mostly used by citizens. But one thing people who are not educated they take little time to understand the digitalization. And some times we didnot access digitalization due bad internet connection in some areas.

Most of them can save their time and money by digitalization.

It mostly benefial to everyone rather than faults.

Thank you.

Digital India is a campaign that was launched by the Government of India on 1st July 2015. The main objectives of this campaign are To connect the rural areas with high-speed internet networks so that people of rural areas can able to understand the importance of Digitalization. All the government works should be provided electronically so that people can finish their work from their home easily and they can also able to differentiate between online and offline work as well.
