Digital India: Whom Does it Benefit?

Hello everyone.

Digital India program initiated by government has been successful in many ways. Transaction of money is more viable than ever. People are now more familiar with different online transaction apps and now we can easily send and receive our money by just one click. We don't need to stand in long line to get cash from bank. And it also help us in difficult situation when there is no money in our pocket.

It also helps in improving our education system. Now student can complete their education at home without going school or college. It also increase the number of startups in this sector and like a paytm, unacademy apps are providing online study to student. And in this pandemic time, online education system is more useful than ever. And now people are more Lean on online education system. Even now many colleges are providing online degree. And that makes our education system more flexible and strong.

Despite high growth of digital system, still we need to ensure that in rural area, people will be more aware of this and their are also problem of network in many areas. There are also high chance of withdraw of your money from your bank account by hackers due to weak security of system. So we need to improve these above mention things and we can make our life more flexible and easy by digital methods.

Thank you.

Digital India is one of the positive aspect which is increasing in India, to be honest it benefits almost all the urban people and up-to some percentage of rural people. Digital India is good initiative taken, as this will really help people to save their time and utilize the same time for any other important work they have to do. It actually benefits to adults and the senior citizens who can just do all their works from their office or from their home itself, like for example if they have to pay their current bill and their broadband bill on the same day, so instead of going to their service office and paying their bills, they can do the simplest job by paying their bills online through the prescribed apps, which in-turn will safe their time and also trouble of waiting in their queue. In this way their actually many things which can be done, but I just gave a small example through which we get to know that digital India is one of the plus points for the present and the up-coming generation and yes presently it is quite help-full to all age groups of people to some extent, but more help-full to adults and the senior citizens. Hence I would like to conclude by saying that Digital India is one of the India's positive approach which should continue to its high extent which will obviously help the people as and when required.

Digital India has lot of benefits. Now, our country is a developing country and once the mission of making India digital is accomplished India will be called as "DEVELOPED COUNTRY". In a very short span it shows a lot of success like:.

1) Now we can pay bills of electricity, income tax, book tickets for flights, movie, train, bus in less than a minute. We can access the internet anywhere, anytime and do all those things according to our preference.
2) provide safety to common people on money robbery from the pocket or home.
3) students can access an online portal to do an online course, for preparing GATE, JEE, RRB etc.
4) we can get food delivering at the doorstep and as well as medicines.
5) unemployment can be reduced.
6) chances of black money is less and less cash circulation.

But there are disadvantages which resist India from "DEVELOPING" country to "DEVELOPED" country.

1) a lot of uneducated people. Illiteracy is a big problem in India. In the rural area, they do not even knew the name digital. So how can they contribute to making India digital. First, we have to give proper education to all equally.
2) data privacy & security issue.
3) hacking.
4) forgetting passwords and pins etc.

Though there is a solution to every problem. And there will be a solution to make India developing to developed country.

Around 2015 onwards, India is moving towards digitalization and with most of the Gen X and Gen Z population the transformation is multiplied. All the government related information, reports, filling and registration can be accessed online. The emergence of various startups who are connecting the target customers via internet and people are also enjoying the comfort of getting everything in just a click.

But some people are not enjoying digital India.

Who are benefitted?

1. Demographical factor - The online world is very much enjoyed and used by the teenagers and adults of around 40 years who are literate. Exceptions are there like a 80 year educated person definitely finds it easy to use.

2. Business- Being digital opens up new opportunities for business and they can reach to customers anywhere in the world. It becomes easy to serve people when most of the information are online. It also reduces redundancy.

3. Customers - Digital India saves time, effort and energy of every one and makes the process smooth.

A complete digital India can also be curse to some.

Literacy and rural areas becomes a major challenge in digital India. Non educated people attracts the risk of revealing the personal details like bank account and rural areas still face network issue. This situations depart them from availing the services.

I guess it benefits all from poor to rich, small to big, old to young but the important thing is they should know how to use it, how it can benefit them, in what ways it can help them to make their life better and easy.

So, it does benefit everyone but people should be more aware of it, they should know things like online payments, shopping, pharmacy, online educational classes and many different courses from which they can actually learn and also how they can start there own business, startup or how they can turn their passion into something which can actually be real. I seriously think that digital platforms can actually help someone take their passion one step ahead. And how digital payment can help them have extra money benefits and more. Finding a job online to filling a form online or sometimes paying school or tuition fee online does save time, and also it is way more convenient. Also, I think that everyone should have benefited from it, there are many things for farmers or less certain people on digital platforms but they should be first aware of it second can afford it, which is the main concern as they don't have tools to use these platforms on. So something for making it affordable has to be done for them. It might have disadvantages but I believe the growing technology will one day overcome it also.

Digital India is one of the flagship initiative taken by GoI to achieve various interconnected goals mainly.

1. To promote e-governance 2. Digitally empower citizens 3. Restructure government schemes to be made easily accessible to public.

Digital India benefits Indian economy by inclusive growth and boosting GDP of India by electronic manufacturing and employment generation. It benefits mainly all those who want services and information to be accessible digitally which include business groups, students and all common people. They all get benefited in one way or others. Through this various financial transactions, information sharing could be done from anywhere.

Other benefits include increase in digital payments, broadband connectivity to villages, helps in financial inclusion, build smart cities, employment generation in IT sector, ease of doing business, number of internet user increased and most importantly Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) initiative through which poor benefited most of government schemes.

Challenges- 1. Universal access and connectivity 2. Digital literacy 3. Restriction on FDI 4. Cyber security.

Digital India has brought transperancy, accountability but a lot has to be done so that all section of society get benefited by overcoming gap between rural and urban, rich and poor, gender etc.

Digital India is a campaign launched by the Government of India in order to ensure the Government's services are made available to citizens electronically by improved online infrastructure and by increasing Internet connectivity or by making the country digitally empowered in the field of technology. The initiative includes plans to connect rural areas with high-speed internet networks. Digital India consists of three core components: the development of secure and stable digital infrastructure, delivering government services digitally, and universal digital literacy. It was launched on 1 July 2015 by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it is both enabler and beneficiary of other key Government of India schemes, such as BharatNet, Make in India, Startup India and Standup India, industrial corridors, Bharatmala, Sagarmala, dedicated freight corridors, UDAN-RCS and E-Kranti.

Another big advantage of digital India is that as the transactions get digitized, monitoring the sales and taxes becomes much more convenient, as the transactions are recorded, customers will now get a bill for every purchase that they make and merchants can now no longer escape from paying tax to the government.

This results in increases of revenue of the government thus resulting in growth of the overall financial status of the country.

Hello ladies and Gentlemen,

Digitalization means the idea of development through innovation and technology, Make our country more advanced. In India, it is a good initiative for development.

It is not possible to make India fully digitalized because of illiteracy, improper knowledge, unawareness. It would be possible only if every person have smartphones and everyone is aware of internet usage but it would not possible for poor people or vendors, rikshawala, labourers.

If the question is to whom does it is benefited, it is benefited to students, educated youngsters and Business persons.

People can easily transfer money from one account to other, Easily pay their bills without standing in long long queues, book their tickets for cinema, flight, read current affairs any time without the use of newspapers. Various apps are part of digitalization like Bhim app, paytm, uber etc. These things make the life of people easier than before.

But it is not benefitted for poor people who do not have bank accounts and if they have they are not aware of the digital world.

If we make everyone into consideration it is not helpful for the whole nation.

In the crux I would like to say digitalization is important it makes our country more advanced, but due to lack of knowledge only educated people are benefited.

Digital India: Whom does it benefit?

Digital India is the initiative taken by the government of India in 2015. According to my perspective, making India a digitalized country is one of the best decision taken by the government. Digitalization helps us almost in every sector, such as banking, service sector, agriculture, e-learning, etc. Due to digitalization, we don't have to stand in a queue for a long time and save our time. In case, if there is some problem we need urgent money we can transfer it by just one click. It helps our farmers to get acquainted with the new technologies in the field of farming. Most of the people are giving excuse of the rural areas, how the people of this areas will use this facility of digitalization. For such people I would like to clear that the money transfer is just a simple process, if they try to practice they will get acquainted with that, and there is no problem of language because there are many option of language. And now a days our youth are becoming very smart and intelligent they can also help their family members to get benefit of digitalization. Digitalization also reduces the paperwork. The dream of digitalization can only be acquainted if there is good connectivity of internet. The major issue in the rural areas is about the connectivity of internet.

I totally agree with the concept of digital India.

It will help in controlling black money, the corruption that will surely improve our economic conditions.

According to me, digital India is a great initiative taken by the government of India because it will immensely save time people spend standing in ATM lines as instead they can use online banking services and other most imp thing is that it will make people digitally literate as if people know the benefits of using the digital system they will at least try to use it in that process they will become digitally literate. As everything has a good side and bad side also, I must mention that on the other side nearly 70% of India's total population live in remote and rural areas where proper internet connectivity is not available to them and it will take several years for schemes to reach them so digital India will barely benefit them in initial period but if proper campaigning is done by government and also if the quality of services is improved then definitely rural people will also start using and eventually getting benefited by digital services.

Digital India is the best concept to reach people from all corners of the country. Also, it helps the government to provide a good service to civilians about the different schemes.

Thank you!
