WASHINGTON: Praising Indian government’s efforts to bring people under banking network and linking them with the electronic payment system, a top Obama Administration official has said India has been a “real trailblazer” when it comes to financial inclusion.
“India’s government has been a real trailblazer when it comes to financial inclusion, and we’re very proud to support their efforts, which can be an example to the world,” said Nisha Desai Biswal, the Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia, during the launch of the US-India Partnership to advance financial inclusion.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had identified building inclusive economic infrastructure as one of his top priorities during his visit to the US in September last year.(AGENCIES)
