He lauded the efforts of the Collector in this direction and said that awareness was being created among people and particularly the traders dealing with agriculture commodities like seeds, fertilisers and fertilizers etc, on cashless transactions.
He said that door-to-door surveys were being conducted in rural areas to ensure that every member of a family had a bank account. District Collector Kona Sashidhar who presided over the meeting stated that 6.14 lakh people were trained in the use of swiping machines and cashless online transactions.
