The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard) will celebrate its 35th foundation day on Tuesday.
like previous years, the Nabard is also pursuing its Financial Inclusion (FI) mission vigorously during the year 2016-17, said Nabard CGM (Odisha) SK Kale at a Press meet here on Monday.
A series of financial literacy programmes have been planned for creating the necessary FI eco system to achieve better inclusion, he said.
Kale also informed that the Nabard is organising Financial literacy and Awareness Programmes (FlAPs) in all the 30 districts of the State through the DDMs on its foundation day.
These programmes are intended to promote financial literacy and create awareness among the financially-excluded people in villages, he said.
The banking products as well as all social security schemes launched for the benefit of common man, i.e., Prime Minister Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), Prime Minister Suraskha Bima Yojana (PMSBY), Prime Minister Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), Atal Pension Yojana (APY) and Prime Minister Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) would be presented before the rural mass, he said.
The Nabard in association with banks and other development partners would facilitate enrolment under these schemes during conduct of these programmes, he added.
A booklet in Odia language titled Arthik Antarbhukti: Aneka Shrota, Gotiye laksha covering various aspects of FI and various social security schemes as well as the application formats and FAQs would be released on the foundation day and distributed during these FlAPs in all the districts, informed GM PK Panda.
The Nabard has produced a tele film Sambhab of one-hour duration on financial literacy. Till date, the Nabard has supported conduct of 4,300 village-level, 700 block-level and 200 district-level awareness programmes in the State through various agencies, said CGM KC Panigarhi.
