India Celebrates Financial Inclusion Program

On August 28th, India commemorates the 10th anniversary of the Jan Dhan Yojana, the world’s largest financial inclusion program. Launched to bring banking services to the unbanked segments of society, this landmark initiative has successfully created over 530 million bank accounts.

By linking these accounts to mobile numbers and Aadhar, India’s unique identity system, the program has not only facilitated financial access but also significantly advanced the nation’s digital infrastructure. Over the past decade, Jan Dhan Yojana has become a cornerstone of India’s efforts to promote economic empowerment and digital connectivity on a massive scale.
