PM’s financial inclusion initiative in Varanasi to change the fortune of people!
The Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, today launched a significant financial inclusion initiative in Varanasi.
A total of 101 e-rickshaws, 501 pedal rickshaws, and push-carts are being given as part of this initiative.
The beneficiaries will also get bank accounts and RuPay cards under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana. The e-rickshaws are equipped with digital gadgets including GPRS and cameras.
The Prime Minister declared that this event marked the beginning of an initiative that would bring about a change in the fortunes of the people of Varanasi. He said a lot has been said about removal of poverty, but those efforts have not brought adequate results for several decades.
He said that there is a need to increase the pace and the scale of the outcomes of the initiatives to remove poverty. Apart from it, he added that the poor are willing to work hard to improve the lives of the future generations.
