But, unfortunately, after successful growth over five years, the scheme, run in collaboration with the UTI, was forced to close because of various reasons. Such schemes, with suitable modifications, need to be revived as they meet the needs of the poor. - Reproduced.  aFinancial markets  aMahadevan, Devika  aEconomic and Political Weekly
