Beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana share their success stories with PM Modi
New Delhi, Apr 11 (IBNS): Over 100 beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana, from across the country, on Wednesday interacted with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, at his residence.
During the informal interaction with PM Modi, many of the beneficiaries explained how their lives had improved through the use of the Mudra loans sanctioned to them.
Kiran Kumari, a beneficiary from Bokaro, Jharkhand, who received a loan of Rs. 2 lakh, explained how she started her own toy and gift shop.
Earlier, she and her husband earned their livelihood selling toys as hawkers. After receiving the loan, she has been able to establish herself as a successful entrepreneur.
Several other beneficiaries also shared their experiences.
The Prime Minister appreciated the efforts of the entrepreneurs who have made good use of the Mudra Loans.
He said that 11 crore people have so far benefited from the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana.
Modi said that one of the aims of this scheme is also to increase self-confidence among the people. He said that so far, the conventional thinking has been that employment is generated either in the public sector or in the private sector.
This scheme, he said, has helped in the development of the “personal sector,” as a means of livelihood and self-employment.
The informal interaction between the Prime Minister and the beneficiaries, lasted for over an hour.
Ministers of State for Finance Pon. Radhakrishnan and Shiv Pratap Shukla were present on the occasion.
