Dear Islanders
I am glad that my appeal to the people of A&N Islands for promoting digital payment and adopting other non cash culture to make the Islands a cashless society have been well appreciated by the people of the A&N Islands. People of the Islands have whole heartedly welcomed the initiative of Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modiji to move forward towards a cashless economy.
I am extremely delighted that citizens of our Islands, including small traders, petty shop owners, tea & vegetable vendors and rickshaw drivers have started using cards and e-wallets thus minimizing the use of payment by hard cash.
I am equally happy to note that various electronic and print media like Doordarshan, AIR, local newspapers besides private organizations like cable network, cinema hall and Govt departments have come forward for generating awareness for this cause by giving wide publicity to my message of cashless society. I thank all these agencies for supporting this move.
I once again appeal to the people of Andaman & Nicobar Islands to promote digital payments and other non-cash settlement culture in the Islands, thereby making the A&N Islands a cashless society.
Jai Hind
Prof Jagdish Mukhi
Lieutenant Governor
Andaman & Nicobar Islands
