Agartala: Over 12,000 patients from Tripura have received treatment under the PM Jan Arogya Yojana ( PM-JAY ) and CM Jan Arogya Yojana ( CM-JAY ) in various hospitals across the country over the past six years, chief minister Manik Saha said on Wednesday.
The Central govt announced PM-JAY as Ayushman Bharat in 2018 to ensure free treatment in a large number of listed hospitals for the poor. “After five years, it was found that around 4.5 lakh families in the state were not eligible for PM-JAY benefits. Jay Shah announced a significant match fee of Rs 7.5 lakhs per game for IPL cricketers, enhancing player earnings beyond their contract amount. The BCCI is also expected to finalize player retention rules, with five retentions and one Right to Match option likely for the IPL 2025 auction.
Additionally, Amit Chavda demanded the return of Rs 450 crore in premiums collected from Gujarat farmers, emphasizing compensation for crop losses due to recent rains. Last year, the Tripura govt launched a similar health scheme , CM-JAY, for the excluded families with all the facilities of the central scheme, which has become very popular in the last few months,” Saha said. State Congress president Shaktisinh Gohil raised concerns about server glitches in the PM-JAY scheme, causing issues for beneficiaries in authorised hospitals. He urged for immediate rectification. The auction date might be declared soon.
