NEW DELHI: Minister of State for Petroleum & Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday launched Customer Awareness Campaign for digital transactions at Auto Care Centre, a flagship HPCL Retail Outlet at Niti Marg, New Delhi and also at BPCL Outlet at Moti Bagh, New Delhi.
The campaigns focus on spreading digital awareness and facilitating the use of cashless payments for the common man during day to day transactions.
Speaking on the occasion, Pradhan said that the campaign will fulfill the objective of moving towards digital transactions and that transition will be towards less cash and then towards cashless.
“For this purpose, all service providers have been brought on board, and an MoU has been entered with Common Service Centers (CSCs) of Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, who will be deploying trainers at Oil Marketing Companies’ Retail Outlets across the country to train the general public on use of various Digital/Cashless payment modes and to promote them,” Pradhan said.
The Ministry has also tied up with Public sector banks, Paytm, Mobikwik, Oxygen, Citrus, Olamoney, Ideamoney, Jiomoney, Airtel money, Vodafone MPS, Freecharge etc and according to the minister, all retail outlets in Delhi will be covered under the programmes in one month. This will be spread to all outlets across the country eventually. The first phase will cover more than 53,000 outlets across India.
