Awareness camps will be organised in Malwa and Nimar region. This was stated by Auro Kumar Mohapatra, Indore zonal manager of Bank of India, in an exclusive interview with Free Press.

He said that bank will achieve it through its Gram Swaraj Campaign. “Under the drive, we are trying to generate financial literacy in villages while apprising them about the utility of BHIM app, mobile banking, internet banking etc. We are focusing Barwani district of western Nimar,” he said.
