PM Modi Urges Exclusive Use of UPI on Mann Ki Baat: A Month Dedicated to Digital Payments


In a significant move to propel UPI transactions globally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a resounding message during the latest instalment of Mann Ki Baat, the 107th episode that aired on November 26, 2023.



The spotlight of this episode was undeniably on the surge in UPI usage.

Addressing the nation, PM Modi celebrated the noteworthy increase in UPI payments over the past months.

Encouraging a decisive shift, he called upon citizens to exclusively embrace UPI payments for the upcoming month.

Expressing contentment over the reduced reliance on cash payments during the festive season, the Prime Minister passionately urged people to shun cash entirely for the next month, advocating for the adoption of UPI and other digital payment modes.

This appeal is not merely a directive but a call for a collective experience-sharing endeavour.

PM Modi implored citizens to not only make UPI transactions but also to actively share their experiences and photos after a month of exclusive UPI usage.

This marks a unique and inclusive approach to promote digital transactions, emphasizing the participatory role of the citizens in shaping the future of the country's economic landscape.

Furthermore, Prime Minister Modi applauded the success of the ongoing digital revolution in India, underscoring the transformative impact of UPI applications and other digital payment modes on the nation's financial landscape.

The push towards UPI is positioned as a pivotal strategy to foster the 'Vocal for Local' campaign, encouraging citizens to buy 'Made-in-India' products.

In a related context, PM Modi shared insightful statistics, revealing that business transactions exceeding ₹4 lakh crore transpired in the country during the festive period.

Trade organizations estimate a potential business of around ₹5 lakh crore during the upcoming wedding season.

The Prime Minister, in this regard, emphasized the instrumental role that UPI can play in boosting local businesses and contributing to the economic growth envisioned by the 'Make in India' initiative.

In conclusion, PM Modi's call for a month-long exclusive reliance on UPI is not just a policy directive.

It is a clarion call for citizens to actively participate in shaping the economic trajectory of the nation.

The spotlight on UPI in Mann Ki Baat reflects the government's commitment to leveraging digital solutions for a robust and resilient financial future.

Quote: -

 

My family members, another big trend has been seen during this festive season.

This is the second consecutive year when the trend of buying some goods through cash payments on the occasion of Deepawali is gradually on the decline.

That means, people are making more and more digital payments now.

This is also very encouraging. You can do one more thing.

Decide for yourself that for one month you will make payments only through UPI or any digital medium and not through cash.

The success of the digital revolution in India has made this absolutely possible.

And when one month is over, please share your experiences and your photos with me. I wish you all the best in advance from now itself.
