We got to know that today’s world is the world of information technology. Our country Nepal is also developing. However, only a few people are aware of digital payment. Some of the payment methods are e-Sewa, Enet Pay, iPay, and IME Pay. The use of these apps can make our lives easier. We can sit at home or the workplace and pay our bills. We should also encourage our parents to use the digital payment system.

It's the 21st century, which is the time of Science and Technology. We had Parents Talk held on Thursday, August 8, 2019. I learned how carrying money has been easier due to the help of the digital payment system rather than carrying the amount of money in the wallet or purses. Digital Payment System helps to carry money without having a fear of losing it or theft. So we can use the phone wallet and get all their benefits. The benefits of using Digital Payment System are saving the environment, reducing black money, and security of money. I would like to thank Mr. Ganesh Lamichhane for teaching us about this wonderful topic.

He talked about the benefits that we can get from digital payment. He changed my thoughts. I was thinking that buying things or goods from the market would save money but I was wrong. Payment of goods from mobile pocket we can even save more money. I will tell my parents about the mobile pocket and its benefits. E-Sewa, Khalti, etc., are the mobile payment apps that I know. This lecture was very interesting to me and my friends too. I would like to thank Mr. Ganesh Lamichhane for spending his precious time with all of us.
