This development comes as part of a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Karnataka government and the Azim Premji Foundation.

The MoU seeks to "provide additional digital payment services of the SBI through payment gateway called SBIePay to Indian migrant workers, recruiting agents and other users of the eMigrate portal: (https://emigrate.gov.in)".

The MoU was signed between DG NCC Lt Gen Gurbirpal Singh and Executive Director (Corporate Communication & Corporate Planning), NPCIL Shri BVS Shekhar on Thursday.

Recently, Haryana and Rajasthan signed an agreement to collaborate on crafting a detailed project report for the transfer of Rajasthan's portion of Yamuna water from Hathnikund in Haryana through underground pipelines.

The comprehensive MoU encompasses provisions for co-lending and co-origination support across all Renewable Energy initiatives.

The Union Cabinet during a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday approved an MoU signed between India and USAID/India to help the Indian Railways achieve net-zero carbon emission by 2030.
