Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said some 66 lakh people, including 24 lakh women, have benefited from the Pradhan Mantri MUDRA Yojana (PMMY) that aims to help micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) for setting up business.

"So far about 66 lakh people have benefited ... with Rs.42,000 crore spent. I am happy to announce that out of 66 lakh people, some 24 lakh are women," Modi said in his radio address Mann ki Baat.

Although PM is not happy with the figures, as he said, "Though the MUDRA (Micro Units Development and Refinance Agency) Yojana is in place to help small entrepreneurs, the speed at which I want to go with it has not been attained. But the beginning is good."

He said that Dalits, tribals and people belonging to the OBC category make up for most beneficiaries.

"The scheme is trying to help small workers such as barbers, laundrymen, milkmen, newspaper vendor who run the economy," Modi said.

"It provides a boost to three Es - Enterprises, Earning and Empowerment. The scheme encourages enterprises, provides opportunity for earning, and in the truest sense empowers people. It is helping small entrepreneurs," he added.

About The MUDRA yojana Scheme
L Shitaljit | Mon Dec 14 07:08:26 2015
The Govt take up so many yojana scheme, sound like good but in reality its not work out absolutely. There are many people trying to do something new for their life and belonging but hopeless because of lack of services and corrupted. Chupa Chupi karke khatam hi kar dete he. They will write down on paper and speech only, not in real, I am sure its a good plan for govt side Plz rectify the thing which are illwill. Lets grow together for the future and bright generation.

Along with this scheme, there are many other schemes introduced by the Government of India, and implementation had also begun, results also started to reap. It will take another 2.5 years to see the actual benefits of these schemes. Let's be positive and confident about these schemes.
