Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna

Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday highlighted the flagship programmes like the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna, MUDRA and Start-up India undertaken by his government to modernise the economy and promote inclusive growth at the opening session of the G-20 summit in Buenos Aires.

As many as 20 lakh people have joined the modified Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna (PMJDY), taking the total number of account holders in the flagship financial inclusion programme to 32.61 crore as on September 5, according to finance ministry data.

Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana: The Union Cabinet on Wednesday decided to the scheme an open-ended one.

The Supreme Court today refused to expedite the hearing of Aadhar cases challenging the constitutional validity of the scheme but observed that data collection by private agencies is not a good idea.

Nearly 10,000 surveillance cameras will be set up in Pune, under the Centre's Digital India mission, a top company official said.

The big surge in deposits into Jan Dhan accounts after the demonetisation seems to be stabilising now as just Rs 1,487 crore has been parked in them over 7 days to November 30, as against Rs 8,283 crore in the previous week.

With reports of surge in deposits in Jan Dhan accounts with as much as Rs 21,000 crore being parked in them following demonetisation, Congress on Thursday sought a CAG probe into the entire issue saying the country is being taken for a ride.

Bill Gates praised the Aadhar Card and Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna, along with the recent demonetisation of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1,000 notes.

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government completes two years in power, the NDA's progress report celebrates the fact that nearly 22 crore bank accounts have been opened under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna. But the RBI has warned that these newly opened accounts could be "very vulnerable" to misuse for "money muling".

Home Minister Rajnath Singh today launched three social security schemes - 'Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana', 'Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana' and 'Atal Pension Yojana' - in Uttar Pradesh's capital Lucknow.

The World Bank chief Jim Yong Kim today said that the "strong visionary leadership" of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has resulted in "extraordinary effort" by India on financial inclusion of its people.
