Finance Ministry’s Nationwide Campaign Boosts Jan Dhan Accounts
The Finance Ministry recently announced a surge in the number of Jan Dhan accounts opened in just two weeks. This achievement is a result of a nationwide campaign focused on financial inclusion.
The campaign aims to ensure that every eligible citizen benefits from key government schemes like Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana, and Atal Pension Yojana. It covers both Gram Panchayats and Urban Local Bodies, reaching out to all corners of the country.
Key Highlights of the Campaign
Within the past fortnight, approximately 1.4 lakh new Jan Dhan accounts have been opened. Additionally, more than 5.4 lakh new enrolments have been recorded under the three Jan Suraksha Schemes.
Financial literacy camps have been organized in various districts, with a total of 43,447 camps conducted in just two weeks. These camps help beneficiaries understand and enroll in the government’s financial security schemes.
The nationwide campaign is set to continue until September 30, 2025, with plans to cover around 2.70 lakh Gram Panchayats and Urban Local Bodies.
