So, Digital India solely benefits citizens of India regardless of he is living in a rural or urban area like booking of LPG cylinders, doing online transactions, online marketing, etc.

Digital India, is an initiative started by the Indian government that has the main motive of making corruption-free India.

Let me start by throwing some light on what is meant by Digital India. It means using digital services for our development purpose. Through digital India, everyone is getting benefitted whether it be the poor or rich.

The following are the advantages of digital India:

1) Now people sitting at one place can transfer money to another place within seconds. They don't need to carry cash.
2) It reduces paperwork.
3) It brings a full stop to black money.
4) During the lockdown period, students got benefitted as their offline classes were taken online which helped them to continue their studies even though this pandemic.
5) Small businesses have blossomed with the help of the internet. They can provide their services online to everyone and to everywhere.
6) People got services that made their lives easy, like ordering food online, booking tickets, shopping, etc.

If there are advantages then disadvantages also exist:

1) Online fraud got rapidly increased.
2) During a lockdown when people were forced to quit working then crime rates increased due to unemployment.
3) People became lazy as everything was made online available.
4) Students had to spend more time in front of gadgets which invited eyesight problems.

As a whole, there are both advantages and disadvantages of digital India but the advantages overpower the disadvantages.

Digital India is one of the best decisions that has been taken by the government currently. Because when we talk about the 1990s, everything was done in the form of paperwork and had taken a lot of time to reach a final decision.

For finding the solution to traditional work, the government enacted a digital form in every place, mainly in online transactions, shopping, trading, forex market, SEBI and etc.

The powerful benefit attains by the general public because they can save their time in case of transaction, getting any kind of information and many more.

Even last 2020 year, everything had been done online from purchasing groceries to online education.

But now the government should focus on digital fraud. And enacted many more rules regarding this situation. Also reform norms.

So we can take one more step toward the success and growth of our country.

Hi guys,

A few years back, it was a huge time to take any manual work I meant to say when banking transactions, groceries, shopping, lpg, train tickets etc. At present, we save a lot of time spent that related work even medicines also get home in a single online order. It's very helpful in digital India. Moreover, we achieve good results in digital India.

Digitation is a very important factor to reduce corruption in the country because all transactions done online. It helped students in the time of COVID-19 to continue to keep their studies from home. We can order a lot of things from home through online e-commercial applications and also pay in one click through any application like Google pay, an online bank application.

At present, everybody is interested to use computers, and mobile phones and search a lot of material through Google or other apps.

Digital India benefits most of the common people, as the payments through UPI is so simple and safe.
