The Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana completed 10 years yesterday, with Uttar Pradesh emerging as the leading state, with over 9.46 crore  Jan Dhan accounts-18 per cent of the more than 53 crore opened across the country during this period.

 A notable achievement in Uttar Pradesh is the significant participation of women, with approximately five crore of these accounts belonging to female account holders. The state also leads in the distribution of Rupay cards through the Jan Dhan accounts.
