"Last Sunday the Prime Minister has asked youth to spread awareness about digital currency after which we have received requests from many young people who have expressed interest. On December 1, we will launch a campaign in this regard," HRD minister Prakash Javadekar said today.
He added that the road-map of the campaign is being prepared right now and it will be launched day after tomorrow.
Javadekar was speaking at sidelines of a special session held today where officers from the HRD ministry were made aware of the various ways of cashless transactions.
The National Knowledge Network (NKN) is a state-of-the-art multi-gigabit pan-India network for providing a unified high speed network backbone for all knowledge related institutions in the country.
In his 'Mann ki Baat' Radio address, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi had urged youth to spread awareness about digital financial literacy.
