"Post the announcement of demonetisation, the push towards a cashless society and financial inclusion became the need of the hour. Bank of Maharashtra has helped achieve this vision in Malangaon with the help of the district collector and several government officials," the bank said in a statement. 

Malangaon, located 3.5 km away from the bank's Shirdhon branch, has a population of about 4,500 and the main source of income is farming, specifically of grape. Among others, dairy production, kirana and medical stores make up a significant part of the economic activity in the village. 

The main mode of transaction had been cash based and with demonetisation, payment of labourers, selling and buying produce, paying school fees and day-to-day expenses became a challenge. Also, purchase of farm inputs like pesticides, insecticides and fertilisers, as well as the sale of the final produce began to hamper the economy of the village.
