PM Modi to launch ‘Jan Samarth’ portal for credit-linked schemes today

‘Jan Samarth’ portal, a one-stop gateway for all credit-linked schemes of the government, will be launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, when he will also inaugurate a week-long celebration as part of the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ jointly organised by ministries of finance and corporate affairs.

“It is a one-stop digital portal linking government credit schemes,” the finance ministry said in a statement on Sunday. “It’s a first-of-its-kind platform, which directly connects beneficiaries to lenders.”

Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman also heads the ministry of corporate affairs.
