Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday launched the national portal for credit-linked government schemes - Jan Samarth Portal as he Inaugurated iconic week celebrations of the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
According to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), it is a one-stop digital portal linking government credit schemes.
The main purpose of the Jan Samarth portal is to encourage inclusive growth and development of various sectors by guiding and providing them with the right type of government benefits through simple and easy digital processes. The portal ensures end to end coverage of all the linked schemes, PMO said.
Modi said that the launch of the Jan Samarth Portal is a major step in this direction. "This portal will improve the lives of students, farmers, businessmen and MSME entrepreneurs and will help them in realising their dreams," he added.
He said earlier it was the responsibility of the people to go to the government to avail the benefit of the schemes.
"Now the emphasis is on taking governance to people and freeing them from the rigamarole of doing rounds of different ministries and websites," PM Modi said.
He also inaugurated a digital exhibition which traces the journey of the two Ministries over the past eight years.
The Prime Minister also released a special series of Rs 1, Rs 2, Rs 5, Rs 10 and Rs 20 coins. These special series of coins will have the theme of the logo of AKAM and will also be easily identifiable to visually impaired persons.
