PM Modi said that Rs 33 lakh crore has been given to the people of the country without any guarantee “You read in the newspaper that this is a government of the rich. Even if you add up the total of all the rich, they would not have received 33 lakh rupees. 33 lakh crore rupees have been given to the common man of the country..Today the youth of India, the entrepreneurial skills they have, if they get a little help, then very big results are achieved. This Mudra Yojana is an eye-opener for any government. The maximum number of women have come forward in this,” he added
The Prime Minister said that the Mudra scheme is not for “Modi’s praises.” “This scheme is to give courage to the youth of my country to stand on their own feet,” he added.
PM Modi said that among all these beneficiaries, some have provided employment to one, some to 2, and some to 40-50 people.
“This massive task of providing employment generates the economy. In the Mudra scheme, the highest number of women have come forward. Women have applied for the most loans, received the most loans, and are also the fastest to repay them,” the PM asserted.
