PM Modi interacts with '1 croreth beneficiary' of Ayushman Bharat, lauds contribution of those associated with scheme

The number of people who have benefited from the ''Ayushman Bharat'' scheme has crossed the one crore-mark, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Wednesday, noting that the initiative has had a positive impact on several lives.

In September 2018, PM Modi had launched the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana-Ayushman Bharat. It has been termed as the biggest government-sponsored healthcare scheme in the world.

"It would make every Indian proud that the number of Ayushman Bharat beneficiaries has crossed 1 crore. In less than two years, this initiative has had a positive impact on so many lives," the Prime Minister wrote on Twitter.
