Digital India has truly transformed our lives! From UPI payments to online education during pandemic, technology has reached every corner. My small kirana store now accepts digital payments thanks to PM Modi's vision. 🇮🇳 #DigitalBharat

While digital progress is impressive, I hope the government focuses more on digital literacy in rural areas. My village still struggles with internet connectivity. Infrastructure should keep pace with digital ambitions.

Railway projects are much needed! But why only 7 districts? Hope other states get similar attention soon. The reduction in CO2 emissions is a welcome step though. Chalo, at least we're moving in right direction.

As a teacher, I've seen how digital education helped during COVID. But many students still lack devices. Government should ensure technology reaches everyone, not just cities. Still, proud of our digital growth! 😊

The railway expansion is good news, but implementation speed needs improvement. Many projects get announced but take years to complete. Hope these get finished on time. Digital economy is shining though - UPI is world class!
