All three schemes listed are social security schemes launched by the Government of India:
1. Atal Pension Yojana (APY): A pension scheme primarily for the unorganized sector, providing income security in old age.
2. Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY): A life insurance scheme providing coverage against death.
3. Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY): An accidental death and disability insurance scheme.
These schemes aim to provide a safety net to the vulnerable sections of society against risks like old age, death, and disability.
Social security schemes provide financial protection against various life risks such as illness, disability, old age, unemployment, or death.
These three schemes are part of the government’s broader initiative to provide universal access to social security, particularly for the economically weaker sections and unorganized sector workers.
