纺织业对无现金经济施以援助

Textile industry extends support for cashless economy

The textile industry has expressed solidarity with the Centre’s goal to promote India as a cashless economy. Supporting the decision, representatives of the textile industry across the country are encouraging the workers to open bank accounts. As a result, salary payment will be done either through cheque or directly into their bank account.

A majority of the workforce has already opened bank accounts, while others are in the process, said the representatives of the textile industry.

“The move to go digital is a good initiative by the government. However, it will take time for the workers to get accustomed to the new process. In Tamil Nadu, more than 60 per cent of the workers associated with the spinning industry already have bank account,” Prabhu Damodaran, secretary of Indian Texpreneurs Federation told Fibre2Fashion.

Welcoming the move, he added, “The workers are putting in efforts to understand and learn the functioning of banking and digital system. We have also been organising demonstration programmes for the workers.”

“It will not be feasible for the workers to travel far to withdraw cash as majority of the textile industries are located on the outskirts, so we will be urging the government to install ATM kiosks in the premises itself,” said Damodaran.

纺织业对无现金经济施以援助

纺织行业表达了将团结中央的目标,推动印度作为一个无现金的经济。为了支持这一决定,全国纺织工业的代表鼓励工人开设银行账户。因此,工资支付将通过支票或直接打款到他们的银行账户。

大多数劳动力已经开设了银行账户,而另一些还尚在过程中,纺织工业的代表说。

“进入数字化是政府的一个很好的计划。然而,工人需要时间来习惯新的方法。在泰米尔纳德邦, 纺织业超过60%的工人已经有银行账户,”印度纺织联合会秘书Prabhu Damodaran告诉Fibre2Fashion。

欢迎这一举措,他补充说,“工人们把努力理解和学习银行和数字系统的功能。我们还为工人组织示范项目”。

“对于工人来说不可能在旅行的时候提取现金，因为纺织业多数位于郊区,所以我们将敦促政府安装ATM柜员机,”Damodaran说。
