Digital India: Whom Does it Benefit?

Looking on the positive side, digitalisation has made a great impact on our lives these days.

- E-learning.

**Through YouTube and other learning sites.

Children are able to know and learn about a variety of streams according to the trend.

* Children who study in a local school or in rural areas will get a chance to learn new things.

- E-commerce.

Many unemployed women get to realise their chances to have at least a small-scale biz & the internet helps them to connect with more people just sitting in their homes itself.

- Online bookings, online payments.

* Saves time.

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.

Digital India is a topic of new generation.

It both have advantage and disadvantage.

Advantages of Digital India:

First payment digitally is getting more famous among ourselves in daily lives like, UPI, PAYTM, PHONE PAY has major role in our life's.

At the time of lockdown, All major things of daily life were digital pharmacy and all the updates on COVID.

Online classes of Students were held digitally, zoom was the most famous platform.

At the side of entertainment, people will get bored if we don't have entertainment apps like TikTok, and YouTube.

Digital India is an initiative taken by our honourable Prime Minister in July 2015 to make the citizen of this nation self-dependent and increase the reach of the facilities that are provided by the Government Sector and Private Sectors like:

1. Subsidies in LPG,
2. Online Transaction of Money,
3. Acess to the global market for small businessmen,
4. Free Online Education,
5. Online Ticket booking and many more.

To every citizen regardlessly that citizen is living in any rural area or urban area.

But as we all know that each coin has two faces similarly Digital India has also some cons.

1. Due to Digitalisation many traditional businesses got vanished.
2. Rate of online fraud also increased drastically.
3. By the name of online education many children got spoiled by online games and many more things.

Digitalization is the process of moving from traditional ways to digital means. Ex: Online shopping, Food orders, online transactions. It has made life so much easier.

Initially, digitalization was limited to the urban population of India, slowly it has spread to almost every corner of India. Thanks to telecom giants like Jio and Airtel, internet availability is not a major concern anymore. Smartphones and the internet became affordable which drastically increased the scope of digitalization. The introduction of new digital technologies will definitely boost economic growth overall.

Digital India can be good and bad at the same time.

Digital India is benefitting all the people except those who are not literate about these facts, especially in rural areas.

Digital India is beneficial in saving lot of time and making things easier.

But at the same time, there is a risk of uncertainity or dependency for example - theft of mobile phones or disconnectivity or battery discharge that can lead to complicating transactions and feeling helpless because of dependency on such a platform.

According to my point of view on this topic by observing the thinks happens that digital India has more advantages rather than disadvantages.

Some advantages of digitalization are.

1. Digitalization saves our time.

2. We learn plenty of things everywhere. We don't need to go specific place for that.

3. In the pandemic when the whole nation had a lockdown that time everything gets digital which helps a lot to face the covid -19. Like school, offices, banking etc.

4. Money is also digitalized.

Some disadvantages also have in digitalization are.

1. People get lazy because of it.
2. Children learn or see show many staffs which is not impacting on them.
3. Day by day digital fraud has increased.

That's all from my side. And I am done speaking.

Thank you.

Let me start by throwing some light on what digitalization actually is digitalization is something due to which.

The time required to do some kind of lengthy work can be reduced, and it becomes very simple to do.

So here are some of the advantages of digitalization in India;

--> Because of digitalization now it is possible to transfer any amount of money, book any kind of ticket online and even now we can book our seat also before travelling within a second using our mobile.

--> for students in this corona period it is possible to continue their study at home just using their phone or laptop.

So every coin has two faces, it has advantages so it must have disadvantages as well.

--> Students become too lazy because of the online classes.

--> online fraud rapidly increasing due to the sudden blast of digitalization and due to unemployment in this corona period.

But thinking combine the advantage is far more than the disadvantage one so, it is good to live in digital 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.

Before knowing the benefits of digital India, we should know what is digitalization. The first thing that strikes our mind by hearing about Digitalization is something that reduces our workload and we can consume our time for other useful work. Now if we talk about the benefits then the most important thing is it reduces paperwork and we all know paperwork is a huge sector to work on. It needs a lot of time and efficiency. The second thing is we don't have to take our personal documents with us everywhere. We don't have to personally present there to submit our documents, we can easily do it online. The third thing is we can transfer money from one place to a faraway place in seconds. Though it has a negative side also. It increases the online fraud risk. But its positive side is so dominant that it covers the negative aspect. Digital India is the best step that our government has taken to show the world that we don't say that we are developing but also we are proving through our work.
