Over 50 companies and several educational institutions in Vizag took a step forward to support Digital India Campaign. Employees from several firms such as Tech Mahindra, Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, Chegg India and NTPC have taken a pledge to go cashless in a meeting organised by the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) in coordination with other agencies.

Reportedly addressing the respective companies Joint Director and Officer-in-charge of STPI M.P.Dubey said, “They have taken a pledge to pay salaries and other payments online and ask the employees to use NEFT facility and digital wallets.
