Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Vijay Goel today led a Mobile and Digital Banking campaign along with young volunteers of the Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan at Delhi’s Rajiv Chowk. As the demonetisation phase completes one month, the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports promotes the benefits of online banking and boosts the methods of cashless transactions. The Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan which comes under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports will be leading this initiative and has invited interested youngsters to participate in the various training camps being organised across India.
Commenting on the same, Vijay Goel said, “I salute this revolutionary step taken by our Honorable Prime Minster Sh. Narendra Modi ji. Sh. Narendra Modi ji has utmost faith in youth of the country and believes that the youth will contribute immensely towards promoting “Digital Economy”. It’s our job to cooperate with him and take the nation to towering heights”.
The crowd at the mobile banking centre of NYKS at Rajiv Chowk was thronged by people from all walks of life, from tea-sellers to senior citizens. Suyash who came with his friends hailed PM’s efforts and stated that despite long queues, people are willing to bear the inconvenience for a greater good. Another lady Kavitha shared that the demonetisation process has prompted her to learn about the various digital banking methods and appreciated the young volunteers of the Ministry of Youth Affairs for their mobile banking help centres.
Goel further stated, “I do agree that with Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes being banned, people would have faced and might continue to face problem for another month. However, one must see the farsighted benefits of this initiative. Under the leadership of Sh. Narendra Modi the nation would definitely move towards reducing the economic and social differences prevalent in the society. In addition to this, in the coming 15 years, India will certainly achieve the position of a global leader for which the transformation has already begun”. Nehru Yuva Kendra is imparting training to public all over India in and till now 1.5lakh youth have been trained in mobile banking. NYKS has also invited youth who can teach mobile banking for which recruitment will be done on Sunday, 11 December 2016. Those interested can join the drive at 11am at National Stadium.
