Financial Inclusion And Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana: A Comparative Study Among Indian States

Abstract

Economic planners had always talked about equality in social and economic fields so that
each and every person of the country can reap the fruits of development. Although social
and economic equality in different aspects is the main concern of planning process but the
result are not so satisfactory. After the economic reforms in 1991 by adopting globalization,
liberalization and privatization, Indian economy has witnessed high rate of economic growth
but it has also widened the inequality between rich and poor section of the society. So the
fruits of development is not been equally shared between different sections of the society
as large number of population remain financially excluded even after so many years of
independence.
