Khattar said that over 3,000 accounts were opened and about 7,000 were imparted training during the first 'DigiDhan Mela' in Haryana.
As many as 100 such melas would be organised throughout the country up to April 14, 2017. In such melas, awards will also be given to encourage cashless transactions, he added.
