Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) is National Mission for Financial Inclusion to ensure access to financial services, namely, Banking/ Savings & Deposit Accounts, Remittance, Credit, Insurance, Pension in an affordable manner.The Yojana gets its name and identity from the citizens, who participated in the MyGov platform’s competition. The success of the scheme so far is a result of citizens’ sustained engagement and willingness to be a part of the change.

MyGov continues to count on citizens’ actionable ideas and suggestions for covering all households under the scheme till 26th January 2015.

We share and recount some of the noteworthy suggestions received to the Open Forum:

JAYKISHAN PARIKH: “During SSC or HSC, a bank account should be created for every child by the education board. This account would be active once the child completes 18 years. For all the welfare amounts, such as money given to girl child by states, scholarship, etc would be transferred to this account”

ARUN SINGH: “PMJY is not only a scheme; it has the ability to do something different in Indian economic empowerment history for better India. Some thought has been shared at our end to improve this scheme. Please find the details in the attachment. Regards, Arun Singh from Varanasi, the oldest living holy city”

ARUN SINGH

SHARMELA SONDHI: “Use the electoral rolls and Voters Lists of the Election Commission of India to monitor and check that all households are covered under the Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana by 26th January 2015, counter-check with Voter ID Cards”

PRIYA SHARMA: “Another means is to use BPL lists with each state to identify potential households with no bank accounts for opening the accounts. Also existing healthcare schemes such as RSBY can provide such lists of BPL population and such groups can be identified as the targeted population for the scheme. Below attached file contains more suggestions to cover all the households under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana”

PRIYA SHARMA

DURGESH KUMAR SAHU: “सरकार को कमीशन योजना की शुरुआत करनी चाहिए, जो भी व्यक्ति किसी अन्य का खाता खुलवाने में मदद करता है उसे कमीशन दी जाए।”

ONKAR NATH AGARWAL: “If there is no bank nearby then there should be an extension counter beside the Post office counter, and the post master or even bank manager can be given the targets with the support of Village Development officers”

ARPIT AGARWAL: “To make sure every family has a bank account the MP, MLA & others looking for election tickets should be made responsible for opening at least 1000 family account in their constituency before they get their nomination filed. Election commission should be given extra responsibility in their free period to make a cross check as they have the list of every citizen. According to this if applied in last center election – 82,05,000 families could have account in bank and many more if applied to all the state elections”

D.D TIWARI: जन धन योजना के तहत परिवारों के खाता खोलने संबंधी सुझाव

D.D TIWARI

ABHISHEK AGRAWAL: “Please set up account opening drives at local Railway Stations and bus stops in each tehsil/district, as these areas are most accessible”

S.K MOINUDDIN: “Motivate household members to open their bank account under the PMJDY by distributing subsidized and lucky coupons for Diesel, Petrol and PDS ration commodities which can be redeemed against the account number and it’s entry can be added in the passbook to avoid duplication”.

    The Schemes Started By Govt are Excellent like PMJDY,PMJBY,PMJSBY,APY,etc.But for the effective implementation of all these schemes Sufficient Manpower Is Must. As i am working in Dena Bank in Maharashtra located in shivali ( Latur )in which only 1 clerk is Appointed so while working the total load is on that clerk,due to that the branch is not able to implement all the scheme in a effective manner,so for the implementation of all the beneficial scheme provide the sufficient Manpower.

    Dear Sir,

    Its a matter of great pride and privilege to have such scheme like PMJDY. I would like to share bitter experience from SBI Kusmara Mainpuri. Account has been opened by lot of people but they all are unaware of the facts and figures related to this scheme. As there are no ATM cards in vicinity around 10-15Kms RUPAY debits cards are not being utilised. Further self has seen that around 1 lak confidential ATM pins are lying in bank in addition to RUPAY debit card.

    UID and SIM:
    Unique Numbers are unique because these numbers help in managing the data of a country.
    This is the reason UID (Aadhar Card) was needed in the country.
    I suggest that two slots should be made for mobile phone number in UID Card.
    First mobile number should be unique and this number cannot be used in any other UID Card. This number should be non portable and mobile companies should not be allowed to allot this number to anybody else.
    This number should be permanent for that UID Card a

    The Pradhan of the Village has to be given the responsibility of its villagers that every villagers must have their individual Bank Accounts. The govt should impose this important duty to the Pradhan of the village to help and guide every villager to have their account and in case of violation of the duty of Pradhan, suitable actions must be taken against the Pradhans.
