Chiranjeevi Yojana expected to provide succour to COVID-19 patients during the pandemic
Chiranjeevi Yojana, the Rajasthan government’s universal health insurance scheme, launched here on Saturday, is expected to provide succour to COVID-19 patients during the pandemic. The ₹3,500 crore scheme gives an annual cashless insurance cover of ₹5 lakh to every family in the State. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said while launching the scheme at a virtual event that it would turn out to be a “historic step” in ensuring social security for vulnerable sections of society and help bridge the gap between the rich and the poor. The Centre and other States should also consider starting such a scheme to give the right to health to the public at large, he said.
