- A Step Forward for Elderly Care
- How the Scheme Works
- What It Means for Families
Kulgam has reached an exciting milestone. More than 12,000 senior citizens, exactly 12,176, have signed up for the Ayushman Bharat Vay-Vandana Scheme. This means they now have health coverage worth up to ₹5 lakh each. It’s a big win for older folks in the area who often worry about medical bills.
The scheme is all about helping people over 60 stay healthy without breaking the bank. Families in Kulgam are thrilled because it covers hospital stays, treatments, and even some check-ups. Local leaders say this will make life easier for many households, especially in rural spots where doctors are hard to find.
One resident shared, “My parents can now see a doctor without us stressing over money.” Stories like this show how the program is changing things for the better. Officials hope more areas will follow suit and get their seniors enrolled soon.
This effort ties into the government’s push for better healthcare across the country. With numbers like these, Kulgam is setting an example for others.
