It provides an avenue for individuals to contribute their ideas and actively contribute to the nation’s progress, ultimately working towards the achievement of “Surajya” – good governance.
Earlier this year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing the Civil Services Day in New Delhi, proudly proclaimed that India holds the top position in digital payments, emphasising the transformative impact on the country’s rural economy. This assertion aligns with the growing recognition of India’s prowess in digital finance on a global scale.
