PMJDY: A Decade of Financial Inclusion in India

The Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) scheme, launched in 2014, has integrated over 53.14 crore economically marginalized individuals into mainstream banking. The scheme has seen a 3.6-fold growth in accounts, providing access to formal banking services and promoting financial inclusion. The PMJDY scheme has also promoted gender equality and rural inclusion, with 67% of accounts opened in rural or semi-urban areas and 55% by women. The success of PMJDY in promoting financial inclusion in India is comparable to similar initiatives globally, like M-Pesa in Kenya and Grameen Bank in Bangladesh. Aug 28, 2024
