The Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana has recorded three lakh accounts in the union territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, according to the postal chief.
The government‑backed Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY) has reached a milestone of 300,000 accounts in the northern union territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, the postal chief disclosed. The figure reflects the cumulative number of savings accounts opened for girl children under the scheme since its inception.
The postal network, which serves as a primary channel for SSY enrolments in remote areas, reported a steady increase in applications during the past financial year. Officials attribute the growth to heightened awareness campaigns and the scheme’s attractive interest rates.
The postal chief emphasized that the surge in accounts underscores the continued relevance of SSY as a tool for long‑term financial security for girls, especially in regions where banking penetration remains limited. The department plans to further promote the scheme through village‑level outreach and digital onboarding.
No additional data on the total deposits or future targets were released, but the achievement is being hailed as a positive step toward gender‑focused financial inclusion in the area.
