The Prime Minister would launch the distribution of RuPay Cards for Self-Help Group (SHG) members, enrolled for Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) through SKDRDP, a non-governmental organisation, during the programme.
SKDRDP Executive Director L H Manjunath said in a release that workers of the project had helped 12 lakh SHG members to open PMJDY accounts at their own premises.
The prime minister would symbolically handover RuPay cards to women who would then conduct banking transactions in the MICRO ATMs placed on the dais during the programme.
