Abstract
Digitization is the way of transforming the information into computer understandable format. If we want to think about our modern digital society, we have come a long way to mould our society into a digitised society. When these all started, there were so many issues in the communication of our societal information among various segments of our society. These worked as the encouragement behind shaping our society into a digital society that is made of us, the human, the other living animals, and nature. Being a primary part of society, we have the responsibility to maintain the prosperity of our society by facing and solving the challenges our society is having. Managing and sharing the analogue information among the various segments of our society was a tedious task that resulted in a delay, loss of information, mishandling, and modification of the information. As a result of which we faced a lack of timely and accurate information as and when required. That information can be related to the various important sectors of our society like healthcare, agriculture, education, entertainment, and others. It has become very much eminent to organise and structure them so that every single segment of the society can come up with the accurate and timely information which can be shared among those various segments. As we developed ourselves with time, we came up with some innovations especially in the field of technology and it was becoming very much obvious to practically implement those innovative techniques into the way towards the betterment of our society.
