A special awareness program was conducted at RGUKT, Basar on January 4th, 2017. The concept of digital economy and how the University can play a role in the same was highlighted by the Vice Chancellor. As suggested by the campaign Visaka, the aim was to transform the campus into a cashless one with all wages, salaries, vendor purchases and fees for services made cashless.
As a first step, RGUKT, Basar, has successfully made all fee payments totally digital – i.e. online. Payments for all fees and salary/wage disbursement have been made digital using programs and procedures. That are entirely developed in-house.
As a second step, RGUKT is planning to encourage students and student social organizations like NSS to take up social awareness camps.
