Heartening to see tremendous public response towards social security schemes’: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said it was very heartening to see that the social security schemes launched by him last week had generated a tremendous response among people.

“Social Security Schemes launched last week have generated a tremendous response among people. This is very heartening to see. #JanSuraksha,” Prime Minister Modi said on twitter.

“Officials told me that over 50 lakh people have enrolled for the schemes in the last 2 days. Congrats to the people officials #JanSuraksha,” he added.

“In Guj’s Punsari village, Panchayat has decided to pay the premium for the Social Security schemes launched. A great gesture. #JanSuraksha,” the Prime Minister further said.

Prime Minister Modi had last week launched the ‘Pradhan Mantri Jivan Jyoti Bima Yojana‘, ‘Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana‘ and the ‘Atal Pension Yojana‘ in Kolkata.

While the ‘Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY) and the ‘Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana’ (PMJJBY) provide insurance cover in the unfortunate event of death by any cause or disability due to an accident, the ‘Atal Pension Yojana’ (APY) addresses the income and security needs of the aged.
