The state is discharging its duty but the assistance of people is also required," Das said.Last year, Das had said that a cashless system will help check corruption, crime and Maoist activities in the state. He said that the cashless system would put an end to corruption.In a bid to make Jharkhand the first cashless state in the country, Das had launched, on 2 December, 2016, the Cashless Jharkhand Mission from Nagri block of Ranchi and simultaneously set up camps in all 24 districts, 260 blocks and 3,974 bank branches in the state.
