GRT Managing Director GR Radhakrishnan received the award from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The retailer in an instant gesture donated the cash prize for the Clean Ganga campaign. The Prime Minister felicitated winners of two national incentive schemes for digital transactions - Lucky Grahak Yojana and Digi Dhan Vyapar Yojana. 

GRT Joint Managing Director GR Ananthapadmanabhan, confirming the news, told DTNext that they had received intimation on Wednesday from the Finance Ministry. 

Noting that the digitalisation efforts launched by the government would get a boost in the days to come, he said, “We are committed to be part of the digital drive and are hopeful that we will continue to contribute our bit to this colossal effort.”
