MAJOR
INITIATIVES:-
The initiative to make the
village cashless was undertaken by the Bank of Baroda in association
with an NGO Veer Savarkar Pratishthan. The NGO took the
responsibility to spread awareness and also educate them about the
various features of digital methods of transactions. The initiative has
surely been a fruitful effort with Dhasai using plastic money for all
the transactions. The bank and NGO chose Dhasai for the initiative
as nearly all the villagers had opened an account under the Jan Dhan
Yogana and thus all of them had debit cards.

On one hand, the whole country

is facing the shortage of petty change for high value currency notes
while on the other Dhasai village has become a cashless village. This
has been made possible by the efforts of Ranjeet Savarkar, executive
president of the Swatantryaveer Savarkar Pratishthan, Dadar. The
initiative was taken with the assistance of Bank of Baroda. As the
villagers have accounts in Jan Dhan Scheme, they have in their
possession the debit cards. Applications for 39 swipe machines were
made and those purchasing these machines include six vada-paav
vendors.
