New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that if the money is sent by the government for books, then e-RUPI will ensure that only the books are purchased. If money has been sent for the uniform, then it should be spent in its use, if money has been sent for fertilizer, then it should be spent in it.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched e-RUPI on Monday virtually the government’s digital payment solution meant to ensure delivery of welfare services, which, for now, will be used to push vaccination efforts. The platform will go live for the first time at a Covid vaccination centre in Mumbai. He said e-Rupi will give “a new face to digital governance in India”.

The world is watching how technology is bringing honesty in the country. We saw its importance during the lock down. When big nations were worried how they will help the poor, India had a full system in place. Other nations were forcing post offices and banks to open… at the same time, India was sending help to women’s bank accounts directly, he said. Ninety crore Indians are benefitting from DBT — be it in ration, LPG gas, health facilities, pensions, education… Even farmers got direct money in their accounts,” he added.
