Emphasising on the importance of innovation, Union Minister Rajyavardhan Rathore today said the Narendra Modi government's schemes like Jan Dhan Yojana, neem coating of urea or the drive asking affluent to give up LPG subsidy are a result of out of box thinking.
Speaking about 'Jan Dhan Yojana', Rathore said apart from state resources, the government also inspired volunteers and showed confidence in banks, who worked hard to open crores of accounts.
He cited another instance of "out of box" thinking saying Urea was siphoned to produce chemical products, so the government came up with idea of neem coating it to stop such a practice.
