President Pranab Mukherjee has urged all citizens to extend their unstinted support to the mission of a less cash India. He stated that all efforts of the government will achieve their end only if people were to adopt them pro-actively. Mr Mukherjee was speaking on the occasion of the 100th mega draw of lots for Lucky Grahak Yojana and Digi Dhan Vyapar Yojana at Rashtrapati Bhavan today. He said, India is on the cusp of a digital revolution and more than one billion Indians have a unique identity number with a biometric identifier.
President said, countries which are technologically far more advanced than India with comparatively much smaller size population do not have such a system in place. Mr Mukherjee said, the Aadhaar card initiative is a watershed event in the development story of India. He complemented the government on its bold initiatives for promoting the culture of digital payment in the country.
