Digital India= New India

A student’s take on digital India

From the very first class a kid attends, pre-nursery in Indian scenario, certificates play a very important role. And hence the poor soul is supposed to take part in every event he can and thus accumulating as many certis as possible.
BUT here’s the fun part,
We Indians are so multi-talented that it takes us no time to collect certis, which when put together weigh more than the time I any kid weighed at the time he started his interesting journey of collecting certis. And then we buy very elegant and not to mention expensive files to be decorated with our hard earned certificates. The more the file weighs, the more proud we feel every time the file is looked upon. It is very morale boosting indeed.
Imagine the proud feeling one gets when he has to sort out the certis because there are no more place in file, and only the important ones can get place into it.
How tough the task is to choose among the white colorful hard pages. Every certi holding special memory behind it.
But, we have to choose by keeping a mountain on our heart. L
Now imagine the horror when any of the certi is by mistake forgotten to be kept in the file or the file is left at home, in case any brilliant one had two files to make room for all the certificates.

Here are the god forbidden moments when forgetting a single certificate is the most dreaded crime one can commit-

1.       Counseling in college
Getting into a prestigious college is the dream of every India teenager. After all what else can make one’s parents proud at this age. But, just one important document left behind at home and starts the torture. Imagine you forgot to take along with you 10th passing certificate issued by board. OH MY MY, you will start sweating even in air conditioned counseling hall.

2.       Passport
Well very other company a final year student sits for, asks whether he has a passport?  And obvio one has to take along all necessary documents to get the passport made well in time. It even happened with my friend. The poor soul forgot his 10th class certificate as a proof of D.O.B. & hence had to come back and again go the office to get his passport. !SIGH!

3.       Job
All companies require well made reumes and ofcourse THE FILE as a living proof of ehat you have written in your resume. If you forgot to take any of your training certificate or any other precious certi, well better luck for next job then.

4.       Verification of date of birth
Getting your passport made is not the only place you will need your 10th class certificate for your D.O.B. verification. From getting ration card to aadhar card, even god cant help you to save your precious time if you forget your certificate.

5.       Verification while scholarship
After burning the CFLs for day and night, if your starts are lucky enough you will end up bagging a scholarship. But when you go for claiming it, and you forgot to carry your certificates by any chance…….you would have to burn some extra petrol or diesel also to go back home and get the certificates. :D

     Now if all the certificates can be uploaded in a digital locker online, what else can one ask for?  E-governance is one of the most helpful and significant policies ever made by Indian government. Not only will it help save tones of paper but would also make hassle free.
If a student will be relived from so many traumas of course each and everyone will be relieved, because who does not need to carry important documents for work. Digital India is one more step to make our lives easy and free from unnecessary burdens of papers. J

Kudos to “MODI SARKAR” for such a vision.(Y)
