Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE) has decided that demonetisation and cashless economy will now become topics to be studied in schools at the senior secondary level.

Post PM Modi's implementation of his demonetisation plan and subsequent emphasis on going cashless, the Rajasthan Education Board decided that these topics should be part of the course curriculum.

Beginning next academic session, they will be a part of the economics syllabus at Class 12th level. The Chairman of the Rajasthan Education Board, B L Chaudhary said,"... In the coming academic session, a chapter on cashless transaction shall be included so that students can get information on it."

After demonetisation was implemented in November last year, the Rajasthan Education Board based in Ajmer had announced that it will go cashless too and the process has been completed now.
