Pertinent to mention here that the camp was arranged by Gaurav Gupta, Secretary Jammu Club with the support of Dr Raghav Langar, Divisional Commissioner Jammu, who is the Vice President of the Club.
Speaking on the occasion, Gaurav Gupta said that this registration has been organized with a view to cover the entire staff of Jammu Club under the Central Government’s flagship scheme Ayushman Bharat.
