Ropar, December 2

Governor Banwari Lal Purohit said there were complaints that the benefits of welfare schemes launched by the Union Government were not reaching the masses. Purohit was interacting with mediapersons at a camp organised under “Hamara Sankalp,Viksit Bharat” movement at the nearby Rodmajra village here today.

The Governor said the Ayushman Bharat Scheme provides Rs 5 lakh for people who require medical treatment. Patients are eligible to get benefit of this scheme even at private hospitals but a majority of them are not aware of it, he said.
