NEW DELHI, Apr 24: Central schemes such as Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, Mudra Yojana and PM Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) have played a pivotal role in bringing a paradigm shift in governance, according to a book.
Many people-centric schemes like Jan Dhan Yojana launched by the Government have reached saturation level and there are others that have brought in phenomenal changes in the country, says the book, 8 Years 80 Miracles.
