Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has unveiled plans to digitise self-help groups (SHGs) while addressing the Nabard board here. The digitisation of about 73 lakh SHGs is expected to result in better participation of members of these groups in the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, a financial inclusion scheme.
Jaitley lauded Nabard’s idea of district-centric approach for development of backward districts in a project mode and its plan to pilot it in 10 backward districts to double per capita rural credit in the next three years.
