Please mark it as solved if my reply was helpful. It will make it available for other as the proper solution.

Hi Smita,

Named credentials is an another way to configure your endpoint and autorization settings such as username and password. Once you create a named credential, you no need to further create a remote site setting record as that named credential will do all jobs.

This is very helpful as you can manage multiple orgs being configured effectively using named credentials without making changes to another org. You can symply deploy it.

Follow below docs for concrete knowledge.
