PM Modi says… I used to study in a school in my village and during that time people from 'Dena Bank' used to come to our school. They used to give us piggy banks and tell us how to save money. Due to this, we also opened an account in the bank. And I was also given a piggy bank. That piggy bank never got filled. Because my background was not such that I could ever put money in it.
He further said, the account was opened, but I left school and village. But the bank people started looking for me. They searched for me for probably 20 years, because they had to close the account. Then I came to know that in those days, attempts were made to close the account. But today attempts are being made to open the account and I consider this as sunrise in the lives of the poor.
He further wrote that the financial condition of the family was such that even after growing up, the student did not have the means to deposit money in the bank account. The system looked at the account lying empty for decades as a burden and made continuous efforts to close it. Finally, after 20 years, he himself decided to close it.
