Badjhiri in Madhya Pradesh will soon become first 'cashless' village in the state having shops equipped with Point of Sale (PoS) machines, ATMs and kiosks for online payment facilities.


"A nationalised bank has come up with a plan in cooperation with the state government to transform Badjhiri into a cashless village," MP's Finance Minister Jayant Malaiya told PTI today.


Badjhiri is located on the outskirts of MP capital - Bhopal. "I will visit the village tomorrow with the bank officials to know how the plans will be materialised on ground to make this village entirely cashless," Malaiya added.


Finance Minister said that the Bank would provide PoS machines to all shopkeepers in addition to installation of ATMs and kiosks and all other measures ensuring digital transactions.
