 ABSTRACT

The process of digitalization in a country is a very huge step and

requires a lot of time to settle with the idea of not using the
traditional methods of business transaction but switching to an
online format.

The digital transaction is a very time saving and handy concept

as it requires only a computer and the proper internet connection
along with the personal information regarding the transaction.

India has just stepped into the world of digitalization; therefore, it

will take time to adapt to it. But it is definitely a call of digital
evolution for a developing country like India.

Whenever any business or government institution introduces the

digital aspect of transaction it is not easy for the citizens to adapt
to it over a night.

The newly introduced online format will first be tested by the

citizens if it’s reliable or not and if it is really qualitative (as we all
know every facility provided to the common man matters only if its
quality is good).

Over a period of time, the citizens then adapt to the concept of

digitalization. India has stepped into the world of full/complete
Digitalization and is making its way through the various ideas and
aspects of digitalization and therefore, adapting to it.
 1.INTRODUCTION

Digitalization is more commonly known as digitization of things

and is basically the concept of converting all the human readable
data into a computer readable data.

The human readable data (analog format) is our normal script

which includes numbers, languages, etc. but a computer readable
data (digital format) is different from the human readable data as
it is in the binary format or in the form of bits.

There is another concept of digitalization in India which involves

using the digitization technologies and adapting to them in our
day to day.

This campaign is launched by the Government of India. Its main

objective is to provide all the facilities to the citizens through
internet.

For example, applying for any document online, instead of going

to the government office and waiting in the long queue to get your
chance of even getting the offline application form.
 2.HISTORY

Digitalization refers to the process of enhancing existing business

processes with the help of new digital technologies. Digitalization
began in the 20th century after the emergence of computers.
The first instance of digitalization was seen in the banking
system. Keeping all the records digitally instead of noting down in
papers proved very useful. After that, the emergence of ATMs
(Automated Teller Machines) was a revolutionary introduction in
banking sectors.

Then various online trading platforms come into play. There have
been notable developments in the field of payment networks,
internet banking, etc.
By 2019, most of the companies had adopted digital
transformation. Technologies like Google, Facebook, amazon, etc
become part of our day-to-day life.
The healthcare sectors have increased their fields using various
digital appliances. Now, digitalization can be seen in every field
whether it is the financial sector, automotive sector or business
processes
 3.Impact of Digitalization in Indian
Economy

The impact of digitalization has proved fruitful for the economy of

India. The government of India is taking various steps to digitalize
the country, so that people enjoy its various services.
Digitalization is also responsible for the development of the
country. Digitalization also affects the growth of the economy in
various ways. Setting up new job opportunities for youths
successfully helped in flourishing the economic growth.
The government of India has taken many steps to digitalize India.
The Indian government came up with the concept of e-
Governance, in order to digitalize and improve the government
services. In 2006, the government proposed the National e-
Governance Plan (NeGP). But the results were not very
significant.
In 2015, the government of India proposed “Digital India”. The
concept of “Cashless India” was pushed forward and is working
very well. According to the government it could be helpful in
reducing the case of terrorism and money laundering in the
country.
 4.The concept of “Digital India”

By Along these lines in a way, Digital India is a more extensive

adaptation of the e-administration programs that were running till
now. In accordance with the vision, the legislature has just raised
the stakes on IT spending, both on equipment and programming.

An entrance (mygov.nic.in) has been propelled and around 6

lakh km of fibre has been laid to make the computerized parkway.

The program basically relies on the central thought of laying a

computerized foundation platform on which administrations will be
conveyed in a straightforward and opportune way. The four focal
territories of the program are:

– Rural Broadband for All

– Universal Mobile Access

– Wi-Fi in Varsities

– Public Wi-Fi Hotspots

Web, as is self-evident, is the level that brings together the two

diversified networks of Rural and Urban India.

Digital India expects to cover 250,000-gram panchayats over the

span of a couple of years and convey broadband association with
them. Not just this, the services of all administration divisions and
services will be coordinated with E-Biz, on a solitary IT stage.
The action has started with regards to Digital India, and the
canvas for improvement is tremendous. With Internet infiltration
floating at around 20%, there is a great deal of extension for this
aspiring project to succeed.

With an entire host of administrations and advancements that can

ride the computerized stage, nationals can draw monstrous
advantages from social insurance to instruction, subject
administrations to transport and so forth.

As more such administrations get digitized an advanced India will

move toward becoming reality.

Looking beyond domestic affairs, India has the potential to be a

success in the global scenario. With a huge geographic spread
and a colossal populace, anything that works in India will most
likely work anyplace else.

This is additionally one reason why numerous worldwide firms

like Cisco are excited and quick to be a piece of the Digital India
program.

John Chambers, director, Cisco, had pounded his help for the
program by proclaiming that, “India is set to be the main
extensive advanced nation on the planet”.

This is the truth of a fantasy really taking shape; an advanced

dream worked with bit and bytes.
 5.APPLICATIONS

 Digitalization in Banking: Digitalization has increased the

efficiency of the banking sector. Now, banks provide us the
facility to send money to anyone from anywhere. We need
not to go to banks to check the balance. Digital currency and
digital payments are taking the world to a new direction. The
RBI is trying to settle cashless India.
 Digitalization in Education: Education became interesting
for the students only due to the emergence of digital
technology. Learning with the help of videos and animations
make it easier for children to grasp the topic quickly. Various
online courses along with digital textbooks are available to
modify the education sector.
 Digitalization in Agriculture: A huge advancement is seen
in the field of agriculture. It also increased agricultural
productivity. Farmers can seek help from technologies for
soil analysis or to check favorable weather for crops.
 Digitalization in Business: Digitalization has increased the
efficiency of business processes in many ways. It helped to
increase productivity with less operational cost. It also
helped people to set up local businesses with great profit.
 Digitalization in Healthcare: Healthcare facilities are
improved with the use of digital technologies. Patients are
treated with high technological devices. It also helped
doctors to do research, explore the disease and cure.
However, it also helped in keeping proper patients and
doctors’ records. Wearable devices like Fitbit bands are
helpful in minor health control.
 6.Advantages and Disadvantages/ Challenges
of Digitalization

Some advantages of digitalization are as follows:

 Quick Access to Information: With the help of newer
technologies, it is easy to access information through the
internet anytime from anywhere.
 Saves Time: Most of the work can be done online through
mobile phones. In fact, we need not to go to banks or any
physical stores, everything can be done online.
 Saves Money: Since humans can do everything by sitting at
their home therefore, the travelling money is saved.
 Ease to Communication: Now, we can communicate with
people sitting in any corner of the world. Video callings are
very common these days.
 However, we all are well aware of the famous saying “most
good things come with bad thing”. And so is digitalization.
Some disadvantages are listed below:
 Required Skilled Workers: Due to advancement in things,
skilled workers are required to operate the devices and also
to rectify the problem.
 Privacy: Digital technology keeps the record of different
individuals and organizations on the network. All the data
and information are managed on the network therefore; it is
very difficult to protect the privacy.
 Security Threat: Networks are the hub for cyber-crimes.
Security threats like hacking are a major concern while using
digital technologies.
 Addiction: Some digital technologies like social media,
online games, etc are very addictive. This results in wastage
of time.
 7.Future of Digitalization

After noticing the importance of digital technologies in our daily

life, we can say that digitalization has become the need of the
hour. The live example is the Corona pandemic. The battle with
this virus was possible only because of digitalization.
The modern public requires modern techniques. Humans are
addicted to the taste of technologies; therefore, they are
expecting more new technologies to simplify their job. New
technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things
(IoT) are considered as the future of the nation.
However, the era of digitalization is bringing a promising future for
the world.
 8.Digital India: A Dream
turned into a Reality

Digital India can also be referred to as a National Movement to

achieve digital transformation which was launched two and a half
years ago on 01/06/2015.

The main objective of this programme is to make India digitally

strong among all the other developed as well as developing
countries.

As it is of common knowledge that use of the internet and the

new developing communication technologies is increasing day by
day.

It has now reached to such a point that the human race has
become dependent on the Internet facilities. Therefore, to
promote and facilitate this new evolving concept of digitalization,
the Government has launched a programme called “Digital
India”.

Digitalization targets many different digital challenges faced by

the Society which include provision of proper broadband highway,
to provide proper mobile connection services (communication
services), information for all sections of the society varying in age,
gender and occupation.
This scheme also focuses on providing job opportunities through
various schemes mainly the Make in India scheme.

The main motive of this program is to provide the digital

infrastructure, all the government services in a digitalized manner
and to spread literacy via the internet.

Digital Infrastructure refers to the infrastructure or basic amenities

required to carry out proper digital transactions.

This may include providing the software required for digital

transaction, the cloud services for storage of the records entered
in the different government schemes and applications, providing
with the knowledge of how to avail the digital services, etc.

The government services (e-government services) which include

applying for various documents like domicile certificates, caste
certificates, income certificates, etc. by using the online facility is
the secondary objective of the government.

The third very important and urgent objective is to make each and
every Indian citizen a literate citizen of this country. The more the
literacy rate, more will be the development rate of the country.

By providing the digital services the government will make sure

that the knowledge is spread to the citizens living in remote areas
as well as the poorest citizens of the country.

The maximum population of India belongs to the rural area and is

surviving on an agricultural occupation. Therefore, these sections
of the population need to be supported by providing them with all
the education facilities as well as occupational facilities and for
this, the most convenient option is the digital scheme launched by
the government.
Another concept which is most widely seen is that of online
education and working online that is in a virtual environment
where all the communication happens over email or phone calls.

Online Education is a new concept but is being accepted by the

young generation at a very fast rate. This involves taking courses
or getting education i.e. gaining knowledge about any interesting
topic through internet facilities.

There are different schemes launched by the government for the

people working in various sectors to promote digitalization as well
as to assure the people that it is a reliable, quick and a beneficial
transformation.

Digitalization not only saves time but also allows the applicant to
get maximum benefit from the respective scheme. For example,
we must have heard a lot of times that the schemes launched by
the government do not reach till the common man because there
is corruption in the middle and therefore, the people can not avail
the financial benefits.

To reduce this corruption in the middle of the process there is a

direct connection now made by the government in the form of e-
government services.
 9.CONCLUSION

Digital India scheme is so far considered to be the most useful

application and the best example of digitalization. It is attracting a
lot of people due to its unique application and easy to understand.
Thus, it can be said that digitalization is a long term change and
is on the verge of becoming a major pillar of the Information and
Communication Technology sector.

Digitalization is all about the internet. Therefore, it is considered

as the backbone of digitalization. In order to shift India from
developing country to developed country the adoption of
Digitalization is important. However, it does involve some risks,
challenges and disadvantages but we cannot neglect its
importance in our day-to-day life.
I hope the above given essay on digitalization would be helpful for
you. I have tried to keep the language easy for your better
understanding.
