On the eve of 68th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi publicized œPradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana to reduce financial Untouchability by including millions of people in the financial mainstream. This paper aims to identify the performance of previous financial inclusion schemes, and problems and challenges associated with this PMJDY for ending the Financial Untouchability.
