"I will launch a mobile app to enable easier digital payments and transactions. The app will immensely benefit our citizens," Modi had said on his personal Twitter account.
The 'DigiDhan Abhiyan' aims to cover 2 lakh common service centres (CSCs) across rural areas and enable them to become digital financial education centres.
The CSCs will train people in various digital financial solutions and enable them to use various modes of electronic payment systems (EPS). The campaign also aims to sensitise merchants and vendors on the use of EPS.
