Speaking on the occasion, General Manager Syed Rais Maqbool emphasized the critical role of financial literacy and access to social security in empowering citizens and ensuring balanced socio-economic growth, “Social security coverage under government-backed schemes like PMJJBY, PMSBY, and APY is not just a safety net — it is a key enabler of financial empowerment for the underserved segments of our society.”
“By bringing these benefits to the grassroots level, we are contributing meaningfully to the Union Government’s vision of inclusive and equitable development. Today’s camp is part of our larger mission to institutionalise financial well-being and inclusive progress,” he added.
