JAMMU, Aug 24: Government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi after a thorough and painstaking exercise has crafted Ayushman Bharat Scheme to bail out poor and needy population from the out of the pocket medical expenses which earlier used to hit them hard leading to life full of miseries.
This was said by Yudhvir Sethi, vice president J&K BJP, during an event to distribute Ayushman Bharat Golden Cards. The event was organized by Amit Sotra, president of All India Masih Samaj Seva Trust here at Christian Colony, Ward Number 7, Jammu East Constituency. Over 100 golden cards were distributed during the event. Sethi was accompanied by Jai Dev Rajwal, State Social Media Head BJP.
Sethi said that after about 70 years of independence the country has witnessed such a medical revolution which will prove out to be boon for nearly 80 crore people. He said that Ayushman Bharat, a flagship scheme of Government of India, was launched as recommended by the National Health Policy 2017, to achieve the vision of Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
“This initiative has been designed to meet Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and its underlining commitment, which is to leave no one behind”, Sethi said, adding that BJP government led by PM Modi has achieved this feat due to its policies which are equitable and non-discriminatory because this scheme along with many others are meant for all the people of the country without any prejudice or partition.
The senior BJP leader said that the ‘great wall’ of Article 370 had stopped the J&K from enjoying fruits of democracy in true sense and also deprived many sections of their rights but the magnanimous and farsighted wisdom of PM Narendra Modi has decimated this bottleneck and now every scheme meant for people of the country is simultaneously coming to the region with no delay or dilution.
Among those present were Jai Dev Rajwal, Elijha Sotra, Ravi Manchanda, Moon Stephen, Roman Sandhu, William Mattoo and Saleem Teji.
