The Bihar Cabinet on Tuesday decided to extend the benefits of free medical treatment up to Rs 5 lakh every year to all ration card holders of the state under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana.
Talking to PTI, after a cabinet meeting, Deputy Chief Minister Samat Chaudhary, said, It's a major decision taken by the NDA government in Bihar. It will now extend the AB PM-JAY to all ration card holders of the state.
At present, around 12 million people in Bihar are availing the facility of the AB PM-JAY.
Now, around 5.8 million people, who are beneficiaries under the National Food Security (NFS) Act, will also be covered under the scheme, he said.
