'Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana' extended to licensed porters, vendor, hawkers
New Delhi: Minister for Railways Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said that the national health insurance plan will be extended to all licensed porters, vendors and hawkers on Railways. "The Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana will now be extended
to all licensed porters, vendors and
hawkers on Railways," said Mamata in the Lok Sabha. She said that this was being
done in fulfillment of our corporate social responsibility as the porters, vendors
and hawkers are from the unorganized sector and are socially challenged.
