Summary:
Aurangabad, Sep 16 (PTI) The Jan Dhan-Aadhaar-Mobile (JAM) trinity has proved to be a game-changer and helped in reaching out to the citizens living in the farthest corners of the country, during the coronavirus pandemic, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Thursday.
She was addressing the Rashtriya Bank Parishad-organised "Manthan", a one-day meeting in Aurangabad, which she inaugurated virtually.
"The JAM trinity concept of the Narendra Modi government helped to reach the farthest person in the country.
There were questions in the mind of people when the Jan Dhan scheme was launched.
"The inclusion of people in Jan Dhan stood by us in the COVID-19 pandemic, and we could help the people directly so that they can live their lives," she said.
Sitharaman also said the Aadhaar linkage also helped in getting KYC-verified accounts.
