"A target of adding 15 thousand persons under the scheme has been fixed. I will launch the scheme in Deoria tomorrow," Mishra told reporters here.
The Minister for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises said that a day before Raksha Bandhan he would launch the scheme and would pay the premium of poor families from his own resources.
