He explained them about Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna and about recently launched social security schemes like Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojna, Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojna and Atal Pension Yojna. He said that earlier a vast majority of people in our country did not have access to affordable pension and insurance, but with the launch of above mentioned social security schemes poor and unorganized workers too have been provided with the opportunity to avail easy access to insurance and pension. This way India is moving towards Jan Suraksha. Besides these, details of various services offered through banks were explained like, saving schemes, credit schemes especially Kissan Credit Card.
