The retail outlets of Oil Marketing Companies across the country will train the general public on the use of various digital/cashless modes of payment. This was stated by Dharmendra Pradhan in New Delhi yesterday while launching the digital awareness campaign to educate the people about cashless transaction. <br/><br/>He said, trainers from the Common Services Centers of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology will deploy trainers at these Retail Outlets to create awareness among the general public on cashless transaction.
