Regular campaigns were held at grass root level in order to increase coverage under Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY), with active participation of banks and local administration.

Presently, 3 months 'Financial Inclusion Saturation Campaign' has been launched across the country in 2.70 lakh Gram Panchayats  and  Urban  Local  Bodies  (ULBs)  from  01.07.2025  to 30.09.2025,  with  the  aim  of  increasing  enrolments  in  PMSBY.  To achieve saturation in these two Jansuraksha schemes, camps are being  organized  at  Gram  Panchayat  and  ULBs  level  by  Banks, providing residents with direct access to information and assistance for enrolling in the scheme. The initiative is aimed to raise awareness and  improve  participation,  helping  to  bridge  gaps  in  rural  areas including enrolments on the spot.
