With these benefits in mind, local owner Jayantibhai said that the most important benefit of cashless is to stop credit to villagers and to be exempt from carrying cash when going to the town of Himmatnagar, a trading center 20 km away, buy the goods he sells in the store.

In akodala, villagers measured the fat content of the milk stored here with modern technology.
School kids use tablets, whiteboards to learn lessons, and swipe cards to record their attendance.
"Cashless trading has helped villagers develop the habit of saving," said sarpanch, the excited deputy . ".
Yotasnaben Patel has worked in Akodara's primary school for almost 15 years and witnessed the digital revolution that took over her school and children in last January.
"With the help of the children, learn how to use the pills," said the school teacher, whose ward was busy painting tomatoes while we were talking and learning the formation of words on the pills

In the same primary school, Pinkesh Raval is busy using K-Yan (or machine)
In fact, a small projector when students listen attentively.
The principal knocked a few keys and chose one at K-Yan.
Teacher Raval said: "Although people can't completely replace textbooks
At Akodara, learning is important and can sometimes upset students at Bunkin school.
"Ask the students how they learn at home, they all say," the textbook.
"In Akodara's secondary school, teachers use whiteboards to explain grammar concepts because the classroom is packed with boys and girls who listen carefully to grammar lessons and basics.
Here, students record their daily attendance by swiping their cards, showing how easy it is for villagers in Akodara to adapt to the wind of technology.
Another digital aspect of illuminating the household chores of these villagers is this milk collection center, from measuring the fat content in the milk to keeping a digital record of the supply of milk by each farmer, making NEFT payments to their bank accounts is seamless.
"Mohanbhai used that machine to measure the fat content of the milk we brought here ()
Harishbai recorded the amount and fat content of milk on his computer, "said Rasiklal, a villager who came here to store milk.
"Every 10 days ()
We put milk into the bank account directly.
Once the payment arrives at the bank, we receive a message, "added Rasiklal.
Mohanbhai takes out some milk in a small container, mixes a chemical in it and pushes it into a machine that measures fat content.
"Fat content is that milk is less than milk in Buffalo, and according to the fat content of milk, what is the price of milk.
The higher the fat content, the higher the price per liter, "said Mohanbhai and Hareshbhai, who work at Akodara milk Mandali.
Every night, the cooperative that runs this collection center stores milk at 3,000-
Liter the refrigerated tank, collected by the milk van of Sabar Dairy the next morning, and then distributed the milk to the customer.
In January 2015, Modi set up the Akodara animal hostel to provide shelter, feed, water, appropriate medical and reproductive care for more than 1,000 cows and buffaloes.
In the evening, most villagers came to the hostel to milk their cattle and bring their produce to the milk.
Palak Sheth has more than 10 cattle and buffalo and he says he has been making money after he has no cash in his village.
Unlike many other farmers in neighboring villages, Sheth and his fellow villagers did not have any impact on their business after the demonization in November 8.
If we had to buy feed for our cattle, we would pay by debit card, "the young man gushed on how Akodara transitioned to cashless village.
Sheth explained, "due to cashless transactions, we were able to shorten the payment cycle to 10 days, which is different from the other milk mandala that uses cash, but it takes 20 days to pay.
He added that the turnover of villagers in Akodara is Rs 1 (Rs 10 million)
Milk is provided to Sabar Dairy every year.
"Our monthly turnover is Rs 9 ()
He said, "We keep 2,100 liters of milk at akudala milk estate every day.
