Subnational Diplomacy (more like ambassador for Balkanisation)

To be precise it means someone who will work with regional units (states in India) while bypassing the national authority (Central govt).

This is another move at breaking larger nations into smaller entities which are at odds with each other making them easier to control and manage.

The attempts have been made in india already with Tamil and Bengali nationalism.

All such moves need to be monitored carefully and resisted strongly by GoI.

INFORMATION ABOUT UPI 2.0

[1] Indians love to use UPI; currently:-

- In FY22, UPI processed more than 46 billion transactions amounting to over Rs 84.17 trillion.
- 22 Crore transactions per day, as of now.

[2] The scale of adoption has been driven by:

- Low/no transaction cost.
- Fast transfer.
- Involvement of banks (ensures safety)
- Low failure rates.

[3] This is just UPI 1.0; UPI 2.0 is better:-

It has 3 key advantages:

a. UPI Lite- A Wallet like PayTM where you can store upto Rs 2000 for smaller transactions upto Rs. 200 per time (without any internet connectivity)

b. UPI Credit Cards-

Credit cards can be attached to UPI in the future. With this, we will be able to experience the credit point benefits along with UPI’s fast payment system.

UPI 2.0 will benefit the Credit Card ecosystem and vice-versa.

c. UPI 123- No internet and mobile required for a transaction.

We will be able to make a transaction through a missed call.

This brings more folks (who do not have an internet) into the UPI's gambit.

[4] Due to UPI's popularity, many countries have signed an MOU with NPCI to implement the UPI systems in their countries.

The first out of these was Bhutan in July 2021.

[5] UK and recently France and Singapore have also talked about adopting the UPI system.

In the future, it is quite likely:

That we will be able to travel without the hassle of exchanging currencies with the help of this system!
