PM SVANidhi Fortnight Launched

The PM SVANidhi scheme, a central government initiative, has launched a fortnight-long drive to boost its outreach and efficiency. The drive, which started recently, aims to clear a backlog of 2 lakh pending cases and receive 20 lakh new applications by August 15. This initiative is expected to provide a significant boost to the scheme, which has been working towards providing financial assistance to street vendors across the country. The scheme has been instrumental in helping vendors recover from the economic impact of the pandemic.
