Digital India: Whom Does it Benefit?

In my opinion, digital India is making beneficial to us whenever our India is digital it's saved our time like COVID 19 critical situation. A lot of employs do work from home students can learn our studies by laptop, Mobile, tablet etc. It gives much more information to the farmer to make her farm better. Avoid paperwork lots of information are available on our mobile. Digital India improves our knowledge. A handicapped person can take better benefits through digital India.

To be honest digital India benefits the one who knows it's uses for ones as well as others welfare. Digital India is a good initiative if implemented well. There are several things that needs to be considered while focusing on digital India. It involves use of technology and internet. In India, there are several areas where internet literacy is too low as compared to well developed areas so first uplifting the areas by providing good education about internet and urging the population to make it's good use will surely benefit the digital India initiative. Almost every sector in Indian economy will rise with use of technology through digital India. It will also help poor people as several things are free on internet for example education. So internet literacy will definitely play a minor role in digital India proving success in India's development.

So first whom does Digital India benefits.

In my perception, the areas where it benefits people are:

1. Banking Sector- It benefits both people and employees in the banking sector by making most of the things online. Like money transactions, changing one's credentials, applying for loans, and many more.

2. Agricultural sector- India is an agricultural-based economy. And awareness farmers matters the most as these people are less educated but contributes the most. They are able to learn schemes meant for them, able to see the weather for casting, technologies in agriculture, and even debt for their crop before farming and money after selling crop gets deposited in a minute.

3. Service Sector - All kind of service sector now uses technology for providing better services like online ticket booking, online application for driving license, Aadhar card, PAN card, online tax submission, and many more.

4. Students - Now everyone owns a smartphone every student can learn from online portals for free. Even nowadays we have an option like distance learning. Professors and students all around the world are connected.

Through a small gadget in our pocket.

5. Physically Challenged - The online shopping sites, online food delivery apps, and even in some cities few supermarkets provide the facility of home delivery of groceries, fruits, and vegetables. These are a great relief for physically challenged people.

6. Every citizen - As in India, we know corruption is the biggest evil. Digitization is a great initiative to bring transparency. So now every transaction is counted making less black money. A number of applications and sites dedicated to great ideas like buying and selling preowned things, e-commerce sites, and many more bringing sellers and buyers in direct contact.

There is a concept of public fundraising in which a person urges the public to contribute money for some disaster management, pandemic, NGOs, orphanage and sometimes for themselves also. And we are being the more fortunate can donate them just by one click.

There are a lot of benefits Digital India is doing and to a lot of people but now the question is whom does it not benefit.

So the answer is all the people who do not know how to use technology properly and having inadequate resources like not having good internet connection are the ones who are not taking advantage of this property. The government distributed mobile phones to encourage digitization but is unable to provide them good internet connection and also people who are not many experts in this (basically villagers, illiterates, and mentally challenged) are not able to identify frauds. So this increases cyber crimes hence again discouraging people.

In my point of view, I have 2 opinions about this issue they are-.

1) Coming to the benefits of this scheme, it is very beneficial for every sector and also for every person with proper usage. Nowadays we can pay the current bills, phone bills, debts by simply sitting in our house with the help of a small gadget i.e. cellphone and even if we go to bank there is no need to wait in the queue for our turn we can simply book the token in advance and then we can complete our work in a few minutes, even the government will credit the fees reimbursement to the students and pensions to the elder and physically challenged people to their own bank accounts-all these are due to the advancement in the technology which is digital India. So it is very beneficial for everyone one in society and for the government.

2) In my perception, every situation will definitely have pros and cons of an issue so if we wish to have more pros than the cons of issue then we have to improve the situation to be more beneficial with our support, for the sake of Digital India we the people who are aware of technical knowledge must have to share our knowledge with the people who are lack of this skill for example illiterates, farmers, poor students, etc. , we must make them aware of malpractices through the internet and cybercrimes. Because the government is not only the one who is responsible for the development of society. Every citizen is responsible for the progress of our economy then only every person will be benefitted with this scheme.

From my point of view.

We all know, its benefits like online banking, trading, shopping, etc but it should be done with a reliable.

Website. The usage of reliable websites can make a person to enjoy the benefits of digitalization. Banking, trading shopping should be done from a reliable website. Only proper usage of the internet can make of digitalization a successful reform.

According to me, Without digitization, it is impossible to boost our economy.

As we know India is a developing country and digitalization is a the only way Which can save a lot of time of any work. There was a time when one has to stand in long lines for atm transaction, getting a ticket, buying the product, etc.

Now all these works can be done by just one click with the help of digitalization.

It helped every sector of people. Some of them are:


1. Education - now anyone who wants to improve his knowledge can learn from the online portal for free. In India, a no of the lecture are created daily on youtube daily which can be watched by any student just by his smartphone with zero cost. A lot of teachers and professors are now teaching online, providing notes in affordable prize. Also in this pandemic, the states of India are creating an educational app for their student to continue their study.

2. Banking sector - as we know banking helps a lot to boost any economy. Nowadays all types of transactions like sending money to someone, fee deposition, recharge of phone, buying a product online, etc can be done just two to five minutes with the help of online banking. We can also apply for a loan as well.

3. Agricultural - as we know India is an agricultural-based country. And now farmers can get a lot of information about a scheme launched by government which was not able before digitalization. They are also able to see weather forecasting, technology in agriculture and even can get a loan for farming like government provide loan for fish farming.

4. The service sector- now all type of service sector uses technology for providing better service like online ticket booking, online application for driving license, Aadhar card, PAN card, online tax submission, and many more.

People whos is physically challenged can not get benefit from online shopping sites, online food delivery apps, even in some cities few supermarkets provide the facility of home delivery of groceries, fruits, and vegetable which are a great relief for these people.


Digitalization also helps in reducing corruption. But there are several areas of India where internet literacy is too low as compared to well-developed areas so first, we should try to educate our people.

I am Anbarasan. In my point of view, digital India is not much suit for Indian peoples. And at the same time, I am not the opposite of that. First, we have to educate our peoples. Then talks about digital India. Because lots of peoples ard not knowing how to use a small mobile phone in rural areas.

I think that poverty and poor education system is the most and essential point to be noted. If we develop a great education system like in engineering, research and medical science with honesty with a great budget provided by government 100%we will achieve everything. Digital things needs deep knowledge with a right atmosphere that will come through a perfect and pure education system that is not available now in India. We are just copying things and all digital technology, we are not creating then just because of absence of deep knowledge, because in our schools and colleges things are not taught with honesty. So the government need to focus. It is not easy as we are thinking, we have to change the people mentality towards education. We only copy abroad things and technology and buy then we don't create and research on them, beautiful in reality research work is zero in India. That's bitter truth.

Every social and economical problems are solved by taking a step towards it. This is what exactly government of India is doing now, empowering the people towards the technology we can do the things much faster, easier and secure. Countries like india, with a huge population it's impossible to intiate a scheme which satisfies 100% people in the society. Already some benfits are we are seen in last couple of years, I hope that it satisfy it's primary objective.

It can benefit various sectors:.

Agriculture : Farmers can get the proper price of their produce by auctioning online instead of traders who collude and take their produce at throwaway prices.

Daily wage workers in construction and other sectors:If they receive direct transfers, they will get the minimum wage and no one can cheat them as there will be all records online.

Education:Reforms will be highly significant here. Better visualization of concepts and even the children who do not have chance to go to a good school or get good teachers can learn online.

Business:Companies like Walmart are already using Blockchain to have a secure and efficient supply chain. Digitization will improve efficiency.

Corruption will reduce significantly:Say you have to pay bribe at the toll gate for moving your goods in the truck. If you get a QR Code system on e-pass, govt gets more taxes as records online will help government to catch income tax frauds.

It will benefit almost all sectors.

Efficient digital network is needed even in rural areas and people must be helped in beginning to adapt the digital technology.
