DigiSakhi turned this hesitation into learning by designing short, shift-friendly sessions that connected digital payments to concepts they already understood—process control, safety checks, and verification. Through ₹1 practice transfers, scam-awareness drills, and simple rules like never sharing PINs or OTPs, the women began using digital money with confidence, proving that unfamiliarity, not inability, is the real barrier.
