Mukhyamantri Amrutum Yojana

On September 4, 2012, the Gujarat government, led by Mr Narendra Modi, launched the Mukhyamantri Amrutum Yojana. In August 2014, it was extended to Mukhyamantri Amrutum Vatsalya Yojana. When thinking about the most severe health problems, the Below Poverty Line (BPL) or lower-income population is the most vulnerable. The scheme aims to counter the same by providing these families access to high-quality medical and surgical care for diseases requiring hospitalization, surgery, or other treatments.
