TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option C: 30 April. Ayushman Bharat Diwas is observed annually on 30 April to mark the success of India’s flagship health scheme. The day celebrates the achievements of the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) under Ayushman Bharat initiative. PM-JAY was launched in 2018 to expand affordable and accessible healthcare for all citizens. The scheme was launched on 23 September 2018 in Ranchi, Jharkhand by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. PM-JAY provides cashless health coverage up to ₹5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary care. The scheme covers approximately 10.74 crore families (around 50 crore beneficiaries) across India. Ayushman Bharat aims to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and align with WHO global health goals. The core objective of the scheme is “Healthcare for All” without financial burden on poor families. It offers day-one coverage for pre-existing diseases, unlike most insurance schemes. The scheme covers over 1,900 medical procedures including surgeries, diagnostics, and therapies. Beneficiaries are identified using SECC 2011 (Socio-Economic Caste Census) data. The scheme primarily benefits poor, rural-urban low-income families, women, elderly, and migrant workers. The initiative reinforces that healthcare is a fundamental right, not a privilege. The scheme aligns with SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) under UN Sustainable Development Goals.
