NEW DELHI: The tiny Union Territory along the Arabian Sea coast, Daman and Diu, has become the first cashless region of the country.
Minister of State for Home Hansraj Gangaram Ahir has commended the UT administration for taking the initiative to make Daman and Diu as the first cashless region of the country.
During a recent visit to the Union Territory, Ahir lauded the painstaking efforts of the UT administration in successfully making Daman and Diu a cashless region.
At least 190 teams of trained volunteers visited over 25,000 households spread across the UT to educate their members about the benefits of cashless transactions, an official statement said.
The administration has introduced free Wi-fi services in the Union Territory recently and 3,500 GB Data was used by over 32,000 tourists and local people during the last 45 days.
This initiative was appreciated by Ahir as it will help in promoting the Government’s initiative of Digital India and e-transactions. (AGENCIES)
