rmatThe Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Jan Arogya Yojana was inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, on March 1, 2019. Through this scheme, citizens of the state are provided health insurance coverage of up to ₹500,000. The Prime Minister Jan Arogya Yojana was initiated by the central government, which aimed to provide health insurance to citizens falling under the SECC 2011.
In this scenario, there were many citizens who were not included in the SECC 2011 list. Therefore, they were unable to avail themselves of the benefits of the Prime Minister Jan Arogya Yojana. In order to provide benefits to all such citizens, the Uttar Pradesh government initiated the UP Chief Minister Jan Arogya Yojana.
Through this scheme, all those families who are not eligible for the Prime Minister Jan Arogya Yojana are covered. Approximately 10 crore families are being provided benefits through this scheme. All families who have applied under this scheme can avail themselves of free treatment through government and private empaneled hospitals.
The entire cost incurred under the UP Mukhyamantri Jan Arogya Yojana will be borne by the state government. To avail the benefits of this scheme, a golden card will be provided by the government. After receiving the golden card, the eligible family will have to pay ₹30 as a nominal amount.
