3.5 cr poor families avail govt loan scheme: PM
Addressing a rally in Odisha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that of India's 10 crore poor families, 3.5 crore have benefitted from the government’s Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana. The scheme lets small-time traders avail loans of ₹50,000 to ₹10 lakh without collateral security. Modi added that "the richness of the poor" lies in their attitude of repaying loans.
