Inclusive growth becomes impossible without financial inclusion. Financial inclusion is the key factor for inclusive growth. The focus of financial inclusion in India there for has overwhelming by been on delivering credit through microfinance channels, state owned banks and through state promoted self help groups. The PMJDY has completed these efforts by the previous efforts of the RBI of promoting financial inclusion through facilitating opening of bank accounts. However, the present Indian Government has packaged it in a mission mode with a big bang action plan which is popularly known as “Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna”.
