However, considering it as a move to support PM Narendra Modi's suggestion and a thrust towards a cashless society, BJP in Kerala has announced that it will be launching a 'digital banking literacy mission' to create awareness among public. The mission will be started in Kochi from December 3.

As such, the aim of the mission stated by Party State President, Kummanam Rajasekharan, would be to train the public in using digital technology for transactions.

Commentating on the same, he added that a special state-level committee comprising of banking experts would be formed to implement the mission and to create awareness on the role of digital banking in checking black money.

Furthermore, he disclosed that trained party volunteers would be deployed at the panchayat level. Many associations, local clubs, and NGOs will likely be involved in ensuring that the mission is effectively implemented.
