In his first monthly radio address after demonetisation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged small businesses and workers to embrace cashless transaction through mobile banking and plastic money.
"I would like to tell our small and micro businesses to take up this opportunity to enter the digital world. You too should download mobile banking applications, install POS (point of sale) machines for swiping cards," Modi said in his customary 'Mann Ki Baat' speech on All India Radio.
Modi told the country's labour population how adopting digital technology would help end their exploitation.
Prime Minister Modi also asked the youth of India to take a pledge and make the country a cashless society that would curb rampant black money and corruption.
