 As part of the central government’s ongoing “Your Money, Your Right” campaign, aimed at promoting efficient and timely settlement of unclaimed financial assets, the leading district office today organized a district-level Financial Literacy and Awareness Camp at the Community Centre, Sector-15, Sonipat.

In Sonipat district alone, around 1.63 lakh accounts hold unclaimed assets totaling approximately ₹68 crore. He directed all bank officials to organize awareness programs to ensure that account holders or their legal heirs can claim their rightful amounts.

The Deputy Commissioner emphasized that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the government is continuously striving to empower youth. Schemes such as Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Srijan Yojana, PM Mudra Yojana, Startup India, Standup India, PM Self-Employment Scheme, and PM Gramin Aajeevika Mission are being implemented to transform youth from job seekers into job creators.

He further added that initiatives like Vocal for Local, Make in India, and Atmanirbhar Bharat are charting a new course for India’s economic progress. All banks are expected to raise awareness among youth about these schemes.

Among those present at the event were Shri Joginder Singh, SLBC Chandigarh Head; Shri Navneet Bansal, PNB Panipat Sub-Division President; Shri Harish Kumar Verma, LDM; Shri Ajit, DDM NABARD, along with several bank officials and dignitaries.
