“I am extremely delighted that the people of the state will have access to Ayushman Bharat, the world’s largest health service, which ensures access to high-quality and affordable healthcare. At the same time, the double-engine government will ensure the seamless implementation of important central projects,” he added.The move follows the first cabinet meeting of the new West Bengal government on Monday, where CM Suvendu Adhikari announced the rollout of central schemes such as Ayushman Bharat, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima and PM Vishwakarma.Also read | What’s on Suvendu Adhikari govt’s agenda today: Ayushman Bharat, border fencing and bureaucratic overhaulAdhikari said the schemes would be implemented without discontinuing existing state welfare programmes, including Lakshmir Bhandar and Swasthya Sathi.Ahead of the Assembly polls, PM Modi had announced at a rally in Bengal that a BJP cabinet in the state would approve the implementation of Ayushman Bharat in its first meeting. The scheme provides eligible families with annual health insurance coverage of up to Rs 5 lakh.It remains unclear how the state government plans to run both central and state welfare schemes in sectors where beneficiaries may overlap, particularly Ayushman Bharat and Swasthya Sathi.“To avail benefits under Ayushman Bharat, one must meet certain conditions.Those not eligible for Ayushman Bharat are likely to continue receiving benefits under Swasthya Sathi. Those who make the cut, will get Ayushman benefits,” a source said.Adhikari took oath as West Bengal’s ninth chief minister on Saturday, becoming the first BJP leader to head the state government after ending the All India Trinamool Congress’s 15-year rule.
