DIGITAL INDIA:

Digital means Getting the work done in terms of electronically. Digitalization plays a vital role in the development of developing countries like our country India. Involving all the work through Digitalization will impact our country in a better way if we adopt the technology in the right way.

Cons:.

* Money Transfer- Without Digitalization you have to carry a large amount of money in your hands in the fear of theft but when through digitalization your money would be in safe hands. And even You can transfer your money in merely 1 sec to any of your relatives.

* Education- With the impact of COVID-19, Students don't want to step out from their home to get to school colleges. But through Digitalization Handling Education becomes much easier as there will no need for any paperwork and even in bad weather.

* Meeting: Through Digitalization We Can meet our relatives at any time without thinking about the distance between them.

In COVID pandemic situations, Digital technology becomes a medium to communicate with each other. It is not only for the regional, national but also for international levels.

It plays a vital role to implement the social distance strategy among the people. So there is introduced a "work in-home" concept where all are doing there work through digital technology. Students are getting education through the online system. It helps the government to create and spread awareness about Covid-19 disease among the people.

But there also exist those work which is not possible through digital technology.

The manufacturing industries like:

Textile,
Petroleum,
Chemicals and plastic,
Food production,
Metal manufacturing,
Wood, leather, there is required to doing physical work. For that reason, lots of Labour, migrant workers are jobless.

So it depends on the profession, levels of work, it is benefit or obstacle for you.

Greetings to all.

Digital India is boon for the country. India becomes the second country with the maximum number of internet users. It's benefitting the entire nation. There are always exceptions but more or less it's a blessing. It facilitates with various easy applications. India is going cashless helping people to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The Internet has become necessary with the spread of the virus COVID-19. It reduces physical contact. It's helping people to work from home during this pandemic. Digitalization in India is an advantage to the following categories of people:.

I) Farmers: They learn better ways of growing crops and know the market rate of grains. They save themselves from getting fooled by tradesmen.

II) Teachers and Students: They are giving and getting education online which makes it easier and saves time of traveling. Teachers and students are getting time to spend time with their families.

III) Corporate world: Digitalization has made holding meetings easier using group video call platforms and again work-from-home feature, makes them spend time with families.

IV) Celebrities: For the first time in their life, they are getting to know and spend time with their families, celebrating festivals with a free mind and giving time to their children fully.

V) Toll tax department: NHAI introduced 'fastag' which reduces physical contact while paying the road tax and saves time.

VI) Shoppers and Sellers Online: Pandemic came with a vast increase in sales of online shopping which helped the economy in some way.

VII) Housewives: They are getting a chance to learn and do courses.

Everything has it's bad side so as digitalization. Digital India has got the following disadvantages:.

I) Reduced Face-to-Face-meet: People are not able to share their feelings and getting depressed since everything is going online.

II) Students Learning process: Students are not able to concentrate for long since it affects eyes and Online they are getting just bookish knowledge whereas going to school, they learned practical skills.

III) Health Problems: People sitting at homes in front of laptops are developing fat and becoming hefty. Children are more interested in video games and not preferring physical games.

IV) Radiation: People are getting exposed to a lot of radiation released my phones and laptops.

V) Online Education: Students are free to not pay attention since online nobody can beat them. So, some of the students are taking advantage of it by sleeping during online classes but pretending to be there.

So overall we see that it's 2020, the world is becoming better in terms of technology which will obviously have some health-related cons. We can happily ignore such disadvantages by regulating the use and appreciating the ease which the technology is creating. We must thank the scientists and engineers who develop such beautiful devices which make our lives easy.

Thank you all.

Hi everyone. Hope you are all safe.

Let's get into the topic. Digitalization is very important for a growing country like India. It's absolutely necessary. Because it makes things easier. Like we can easily shop, banking transactions, educate ourself using some learning platforms. All are good. Now government moved lots of their services into digital. But at the same time, do all the people in our country know or get these services. Absolutely not. India is a country with lots of youngsters I accept that. But in villages, lots of people are still using ordinary mobile phones and don't even know what digital is? For applying simple documents or certificates.

The people who know these technologies are just looting their money a lot. I have seen so many incidents like this. Atm which is a boon for many people. But the person who doesn't know about that, how can they access that. That person has to come to the bank for taking even Rs.500 and as usual, the bank employees don't give so much concern for Rs.500. They always say that couldn't you take that in ATM. So what I want to convey is, before getting completely digitalized, the government must teach our people and create awareness about it by placing helping centres all over the country, which can be available in their own mother tongue.

If we did that, then it would create a drastic change in our country. It is just a piece of my opinion.

My point of view, digital India is that it can benefit the youth for employment and provide opportunities to the people who are capable. But before that, we need to create awareness among the people especially in villages they don't have the idea of many digital gadgets. It is necessary to educate people first and then think about digitalizing India.

Digital India is a successful step towards the growth of our country. Digitalization has made our lives easy and comfortable. It has increased the connectivity among the people. Nowadays, we can transfer money using different mobile applications. Nowadays, many government services are done digitaly. Digital India is providing a lot of job opportunities. Applicants can apply for their desired job position through the internet on different job portals. Digitalization has not reached to the remote areas of our country and many people are still not aware of it. Therefore, government should plan a scheme where people can know about the digitalization of our country and they can use it.

I think it will be befitting to look at digitalization from the perspectives of the different demographic groups of the nation. Primarily these constitute the children, the youth and working class, and the senior citizens. For the children, digitalization has had a significant role in opening doors for unrestrained information. This has a revolution in terms of education, post-pandemic times. While the education system still continued to run on the traditional chalk-talk-exam pedagogy, the pandemic has forced the educators to look at it from a different perspective. Since information is now at the tip of your fingers, examinations that test one's memory either need to adopt a different approach or consider getting scraped. Hence exam pedagogies are now evolving to test children on other aspects such as comprehension, creativity, research and critical thinking which previously remained under the hood. Digitalization has also enabled learners to set their learning curves as per their needs-some require steep ones while some others require a gradual growth. Websites like Coursera and EdX have also opened courses free of cost, giving access to varied topics of learning to everyone in the world with the internet. Such globalization of learning, though in existence previously, has risen to the limelight especially during the times of the pandemic. Consider other aspects of a child's life, everything from entertainment to education is now encapsulated with the internet and a device to access it. Hence it becomes the world for him/her.

Coming to the working class, digitalization has enabled them to live a hassle-free, tailored-to-comfort flexible work-from-home life cutting costs and time of travel. It has also opened a degree of flexibility to work reducing stress to a large extent. Breaking for lunch after a morning's work is now common in households for people working from home. Clearly people can spend much more time with their families and live a more wholesome life. Digitalization has also enabled certain industries to run despite the pandemic which is an important aspect considering the declining job market.

For the senior class, digitalization has had little impact considering their difficulty to adapt to the new technology. Nonetheless, a certain portion are comfortable with smartphones and the internet. Inevitably they seem to encounter some complication or a problem that needs the assistance of the younger generations to get their experience going smoothly with tech. However, they are now able to communicate with their children long-distance and still stay connected. They are able to better monitor health once they know how to use resources online.

Hello everyone,

As my point of view digital India programme is;

Providing help to citizens of India in different forms.

I know as a postman by this the people getting profits of government schemes directly without any irrelevant interpretation.

They got used of DBT, AEPS (IN VILLAGES AT E MITRA OR POST OFFICES).

BY DIGITALIZATION STUDENT WHO COULD NOT PAY COSTLY COURSES THAY ALSO CAN LEARN FREELY ON BEST PLATFORMS NOW.

Business activities also can be controlled by businessman and there will be fairer between govt and business activities.

By the DIGITALIZATION of India post now people are using doorstep banking.

And online marketing & purchasing is now increasing quickly.

Online courts are getting quick access to cases.

Moreover, it is most helpful to saving time and distance of human life.

Hellow guys.

According to me, digitalization is the best way to promote development, because it helps to the banking sector, education, service sector, agriculture. Etc thats all. And this most useful to control black money, while digital India is a great initiative to the world and benificial.
