University Grants Commission, UGC, has asked all universities and colleges across the country to launch a month-long campaign to create awareness about cashless transactions. In a letter to the universities, UGC said that a month-long campaign from December 12 can be run to educate and train
students in various modes of digital payments.
According to the UGC, an important component of this campaign is to ensure that every campus becomes completely cashless by adopting digital payment systems in all its receipts, payments and transactions within the campus.
