Mint Mumbai|December 21, 2023
The government aims to cover all targeted beneficiaries of the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) by 26 January as Lok Sabha election nears, a tall task given that it involves bringing 270 million more people into the fold of its flagship health scheme.

Govt races to add 270 mn more to Ayushman Bharat

The plan is part of fresh directions issued to all central ministries and agencies running various welfare schemes to accelerate the "saturation" of beneficiaries, meaning, covering all intended individuals.

More than 280 million individuals have an Ayushman card, which entitles the holder — someone below the poverty line—accessible quality healthcare. The government’s target is to cover at least 550 million individuals, leaving a massive gap of at least 270 million to be closed in just over a month.
