About 6.33 lakh people out of 1.35 crore eligible beneficiaries have so far enrolled under 바카라˜Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana바카라™ (AB-PMJAY) in Assam, Health Minister Keshab Mahanta said in the state Assembly on Friday.
He also said the number of eligible beneficiaries will rise to over 2.50 crore under AB-PMJAY and 바카라˜Ayushman Bharat Mukhya Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-MMJAY) as the state government has decided to identify the beneficiaries on the basis of National Food Security Act (NFSA) database, rather than the current practise of using Socio Economic and Caste Census (SECC) data.
Replying to an unstarred question by AIUDF legislator Nijanur Rahman, Mahanta said there are about 1.35 crore eligible people (27 lakh families) for availing benefits under AB-PMJAY, as per SECC data. Out of these, 6,33,276 have been issued 바카라˜golden card바카라™ through the 바카라˜Beneficiary Identification System바카라™.
The number of eligible people under AB-PMJAY and AB-MMJAY will increase to about 2.52 crore as the state government has decided to extend the benefits to NFSA beneficiaries. Previously, the beneficiaries for these schemes were identified on the basis of SECC data, he added.
Under these two schemes, each eligible family receives cashless treatment facilities for up to Rs 5 lakh per annum for diseases under 24 specialised categories, involving 1,578 procedures. The minister said over 1.63 crore people have been issued beneficiary card under 바카라˜Atal Amrit Abhiyan바카라™, a flagship cashless treatment scheme of the state government. He also said that enrolment facilities for these health schemes are available at government establishments, including hospitals, while private vendors have also been enlisted for 'Aap ke Dwar Ayushman바카라™ programme, an intensified drive to increase enrolment under the Central schemes.
