Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said that over 10 crore people have enrolled in three social security schemes recently launched by the government and expressed happiness on the number of enrollments.
"Enrollment under the 3 social security schemes has crossed the 10 crore number in one month. This is a matter of immense joy. What can be more heartening than the fact that 10 crore of our sisters and brothers have been included under a social security cover," Modi said in the statement here.
"Enthusiasm of people towards social security schemes and efforts of banks have been very gladdening. They made this record enrollment possible", the Prime Minister said.
The three schemes are Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana, Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana and Atal Pension Yojana.
