Speaking at the 11th Foundation Day function of SPMCIL here, he said the easiest task during demonetisation was to pass comments and make snide remarks.
“But the toughest work is to implement it. This is perhaps the biggest demonetisation drive in the world that was aimed at _(3)_[conventional] at the very root of corruption, black money and _(4)_[literal] currency,” he said.People often commented that it may take up to one year or at least seven months to restore normality. But the task had been achieved within few weeks.
“Normalcy has been restored within few weeks and there is no shortage [of banknotes] in the market for even a day,” he said.And this was achieved “without a single incident” of unrest anywhere in the country. This was possible because of _(5)_[exemplary] work done by the printing presses of the RBI and the SPMCIL, who kept the supply line going.
“For long you have worked for 24 hours, without break and to complete it with efficiency,” he told SPMCIL employees _(6)_[distributed] on the occasion.Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das said the SPMCIL fulfils a sovereign function by printing currency, minting coins and printing non judicial papers and stamps.
“During the last one year and especially during the demonetisation period, each and every employee of the SPMCIL has risen to the occasion to meet the _(7)_[needs] of printing of new currency,” he said.The SPMCIL initially ran two shifts, each with longer duration, he said.
“But as we went into the process of remonetisation, during the months of November and December, the SPMCIL was able to run 24×7, three shifts a day. The total quantum of notes which were printed during those days rose _(8)_[exponentially] , helping the government in the process of demonetisation,” he said.To give pace to remonetisation, the SPMCIL airlifted currency from its presses at Nasik and Devas to places like Kolkata, Guwahati, Chandigarh, Delhi and Lucknow, he said.“The SPMCIL has become debt-free.
