MyGov Talk with Shri Prakash Javadekar on VISAKA- Vittiya Saksharta Abhiyan (Digital Financial Literacy Campaign)

As we shift from a cash-dependent to a cashless economy, we look forward to better social equity, availability of more resources for development work through higher revenue collection, eradication of counterfeit currency, a reduction in illegal transactions and a curb on black money. The purpose of the `Vittiya Saksharta Abhiyan’ is to actively engage the youth/ students of Higher Education Institutions to encourage and motivate all payers and payees to use a digitally enabled cashless economic system for transfer of funds. Ministry of Human Resource Development views the institutions of higher education in the country, faculty members and students to take the lead and act as engines of this transformational shift. The Ministry aims to involve students, faculty members as volunteers to provide hands-on training to vendors, shopkeepers and other staff in their campuses and nearby communities. Hon. Minister for Human Resource Development, Shri Prakash Javadekar will share his thoughts and vision on VISAKA in a LIVE Talk on 23rd December 2016 from 5.00pm to 6.00pm. Get involved in VISAKA by asking your questions and sharing your ideas and suggestions to take this campaign forward.
