The Nainital district administration has set a target of enrolling about 5 lakh persons under the social schemes like Pradhan Mantri Surakhsa Bima Yojana (PMSBY), Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBM) and Atal Pension Yojana in the district. The administration has also emphasised on the need to complete the said task with a coordinated approach.
While the respective block development officers (BDOs) will coordinate with bank officials concerned at the block level to bring maximum persons under the aforesaid social schemes, respective SDMs will look after these schemes in the urban areas of the district in association with the bankers concerned. Since cent per cent bank accounts have been opened under the Jan Dhan Yojana in the district, therefore, all the officials concerned are supposed to work in a phased manner to achieve the target of extending cover of the social schemes.
