| FM's SPEECH on UNION BUDGET 2001-2002 |
Social Security 70. Honble Members may recall my announcement in the last budget, of a new Group Insurance Scheme, the "Janashree Bima Yojana" to extend Social Security cover to the poorest sections of society. The said scheme was launched by the Prime Minister on 10, August, 2000 and has been well received. 332 schemes have been approved so far covering 99,750 people in the BPL segment.
