Inclusive India

The opening of saving accounts under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) make possible
to channelize the LPG subsidy to the targeted bene ciaries under the Direct Bene ts Transfer
(DBT) scheme or PAHAL scheme.

DBT is the largest scheme of its kind in the

world with more than 160 million
registered bene ciaries which has a great
potential to emerge as global best practice
in bene t transfers to poor households.
Since the implementation of DBT, the
Government has managed to save nearly
Rs. 22,000cr on LPG subsidy.
The initiatives like demonetisation, PMJDY,
DBT have made the government to achieve
the goal of universal nancial inclusion and
bringing every citizen into the formal banking net.
Under the PMJDY, around 28.13cr accounts have been opened so far which gives a much-
needed boost to move towards a cashless economy and realise the dream of ' nancial
untouchability' in the country.

Incorruptible India

The 'Give it Up' campaign was simultaneously in the process with the PAHAL scheme which
encouraged customers who earn more than Rs. 10 lakh per annum, to voluntarily give up the
LPG subsidy.
From the amount saved from the 'Give it Up' was used to give over 65 lakh new LPG
connections to those who still use rewood or kerosene stoves for cooking.
Over 1 crore users voluntarily gave up the subsidy bene t and saved the government
exchequer to the tune of nearly Rs. 5000cr.

Conclusion

The e orts taken to make New India by the Government are quite laudable. Earlier, the welfare
schemes and programmes were in great need of transparency. In the last few years, the
Government has succeeded to maintain accountability on their part and most of the initiatives
have been made more transparent. The initiatives like Digital India, Inclusive India and the
assisting agship schemes likes PMJDY, PAHAL, DBT etc. have proved the will of the Government
devoted towards the bene t of the citizen as a whole.
