Question

Against on digital India

Answer 1

Indian prime minister Narendra Modi wants to create a digital India that would use technology to improve the country’s healthcare systems, education and banking. He envisages that will use big data to build more efficient cities. But as the following chart shows, India will have to address the problem of digital have-nots at some point, as the barrier to internet access in the country is high.

A global study by McKinsey and Facebook finds that India has one billion people without Internet access. The report, titled ‘Offline and Falling Behind: Barriers to Internet Adoption,’ has constructed an ‘Internet Barrier Index’ assessing the obstacles to Internet access in 25 countries. India finishes 20th on that list.
A total of 4 billion people in the world don’t have access to Internet—India accounts for 25% of them. The study found that most people who don’t have Internet access live in the rural areas, in low income countries and are largely elderly and female.
The report suggests that the major obstacles in Internet access in India are the same as the most pressing issues facing the country today: literacy, poverty and poor infrastructure.
Thirty seven percent of adult Indians are illiterate which translates to 287 million people—the highest in the world. The report notes that such a high illiteracy rate acts as a major roadblock in expanding the reach of the Internet. Awareness about the Internet and ability to operate a computer is low among Indians, adding to the worries.
“Illiterate farmers are unable to benefit from myriad existing services that provide weather forecasts and market prices through text messages or other digital means,” the study notes.

Digital India has a profound impact on people from every aspect of society. The campaign has had a positive impact on the life of the individual as a whole and has contributed to the progress of the society as a whole.

The project can be considered to be successful in general terms but still remains a failure in the broader sense. Of course, campaigns like these take years if not decades and Digital India is still in its early stages.
