Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday called upon the people to promote cashless transactions through Jan Dhan, Aadhar and Mobile (JAM) to move forward to cashless society.
The Prime Minister, who was addressing the nation in the 20th edition of his 'Mann ki Baat' programme, said the world is moving towards a cashless society and more technology is being used.
