Centre launches financial literacy drive for villages of vulnerable tribal groups across four states
The initiative has been launched in collaboration with the National Scheduled Tribes Finance and Development Corporation (NSTFDC).
The Union ministry of tribal affairs has launched a financial literacy drive called PVTG Vitta Samriddha Gram (PVTG V-SamGra) to improve access to formal banking services and concessional credit among Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) across four states. The initiative, which aims to cover around 200 selected PVTG villages in Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Maharashtra, and Chhattisgarh by March 2027, seeks to address gaps in financial awareness that often prevent tribal households in remote areas from accessing institutional credit.
The programme will familiarise beneficiaries with concessional loan schemes, banking procedures, eligibility criteria, and documentation requirements, providing assistance in submitting loan applications.
