He also called upon the students to be the agent of change, “particularly as future social workers” and asserted that “this particular effort of the Government is an opportunity that we need to bring about the change in our fight against corruption and black money”.
The students of Peace and Conflict Transformation Studies presented a play in which they depicted the benefits of digital cashless transactions in everyday situations like shopping, transfer of money, paying medical bills etc.
Principal, NEISSR, Dr. Fr. Anto affirmed the commitment of the institute to promote digital cashless transactions in the campus. He also encouraged the students to speak and educate atleast their family members about the benefits and importance of a digital cashless economy.
