He spoke on various schemes being undertaken by the department. He appealed to the youth clubs to open bank account for their own interest as the Government of India has introduced Public Fund Management System (PFMS) through which the Government is asked to transfer schemes directly to beneficiaries without cheques. “This will bring transparency in accounting system and seal loopholes to corruption,” he said.
