I wrote this message in SCCN SmartCampusCloudNetwork Newsletter and decided to act on my own thought. I was thinking on a thought that what is the best way we can promote the Skill Building activity in well organized way and my thinking process coined a term "Smart Skill Katta".
"Smart" is today's buzzword. Our ultimate goal is to make Smart India through various "Smart" ventures. I think today educating people on right skill building knowledge is most important and required thing. Thats why "Smart Skill" and
What is "katta" ? "Katta" is a place where people meet for casual discussion to exchange thoughts and knowledge. Which we all are really missing in todays virtual world created by various electronics gadgets. I was thinking on various skill building courses and I think in today's scenario
"Understanding Digital Transactions - A smart step towards Less Cash Society”
should be one of the Smart Skill building course
So I have started preparing course material for this Skill building course. While working on this course material got an opportunity to solve real time problem . I decided to explain Digital transaction to my family members inluding our house helpers and my wife Meena told me that "our home maid has recently deposited a cheque in her bank account and now can she check her bank statement on mobile to check whether cheque is deposited or not?"
I said "yes it is possible and you can check your bank mini statement by just sending one sms"
So I showed her the steps to view mini bank statement on her mobile phone. She was very happy and realized that on a simple click of sms cost she saved her time and fuel cost for going to bank.
After two days after studying her bank mini statement on mobile phone she had one query reagarding one entry 124 CR in her bank statement and she thought that amout is "cut" from her account due to Pradhan Mantri Jan Suraksha Bima Yojana Policy (PMSBY) . So I explained her it is not a "cut" from your account that entry is actually a deposit (addition) to your bank account by bank as an interest on your saving amount. My spouse Meena as being a commerce graduate explained her the term "DR" and "CR" written against every amount in the bank statement.
In short there could be a missunderstanding only because of our ignorance and only answer to all this is "right education".
Hence to share my knoweldge on Digital Bank & Digital wallet transactions herewith I am giving some useful points .

Answer: VPA - Vitual Payment Address
Example : yourmobilenumber@upi is your VPA which you can create using BHIM App. VPA is just like your email id used to transfer money from one bank account to another bank account.
