Ever since coming to power, the current government has come up with several programmes in order to ease the burden of poverty holding India back. The Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) is one such programme. It looks to provide economically-disadvantaged people access to different financial services such as a basic savings account, insurance, credit as and when needed, pension and remittances. People who invest in this scheme can earn interest on the amount deposited by them, and have accidental insurance cover amounting to Rs. 1 lakh. The programme does not have a minimum amount that has to be always maintained.
The programme provides life insurance worth Rs. 30,000 and accountholders can avail overdraft facilities after six months. The maximum amount of overdraft in case of a single household is Rs. 5,000. The PMJDY also helps them get access to other insurance and pension-based financial products. The accountholders are also provided RuPay debit card.


National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA)
The NREGA bill was passed in 2005 and it became effective from 2006. It became the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) in 2008. As per the programme, 100 days of work are guaranteed to people in villages across the country. It has been a successful programme as far as increasing the income levels of poor people in the rural areas is concerned. It provides work opportunities to people as and when they ask for it. Even though it involves mostly unskilled manual work, it does provide some sort of safety net for the economically impoverished. The income from this programme helps them build some assets that make their lives that much better. This programme is implemented primarily by the Ministry of Rural Development.

Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP)
The Integrated Rural Development Programme is said to be one of the most ambitious ones of its kind in the world. The programme looks to provide assets, generated by the dint of income, to the poorest people in India. The programme was launched in 1978-79 at selected locations. However, by November 1980, the whole country had come under the programme’s purview. The programme’s main objective is to create sustainable assets and provide them to targeted families, so that they can be brought above the poverty line. Self-employment is a major component of the assistance provided as part of the scheme.
