Ayushman Bharat Yojana Odisha 2025
The Ayushman Bharat Yojana Odisha has now started in Odisha, bringing free and easy healthcare to over 1 crore families. According to the government, all ABY schemes working under the Central government of India are called Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya (Ayushman Bharat) Yojana 2025. Earlier, the state government of Odisha was running its own health plan called the Biju Swasthya Kalyan Yojana 2025. But in 2025, the Odisha government officially joined the national Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY). Now, families in the state will get health insurance of up to ₹5 lakh every year. This covers hospital stays, surgeries, tests, and medicines, all at no cost in both government and listed private hospitals across India.
With the Biju Swasthya Kalyan Yojana now active, more than 3.5 crore people in Odisha are likely to benefit. The Ayushman Bharat Odisha health card they get is digital and works across India. This scheme allows cashless treatment, meaning no money is needed at the hospital. Also, there is no paperwork involved. Beneficiaries can get treatment for serious diseases without stress about money in the state of Odisha under the Odisha ABY Scheme. This scheme provides the benefits of lower medical expenses, especially for poor and middle-class families. Interested applicants apply online for PMJAY Ayushman Bharat Yojana Odisha using the government official website link.
Objective of the Biju Swasthya Kalyan Yojana
The main goal of the Ayushman Bharat Yojana in Odisha is to give free healthcare to people who cannot afford it and belong to the government of Odisha. Many families spend too much money during emergencies. The Ayushman Bharat scheme under PMJAY helps by covering major surgeries, hospital care, and treatments without asking for any advance payment. This scheme gives people better access to doctors, especially in villages and remote areas in Odisha. This scheme is supported by both public and private hospitals, and the program makes modern medical care more reachable. The big aim is to build a healthy Odisha, where no one has to borrow money or sell things to pay hospital bills. Beneficiaries visit the official website of Biju Swasthya Kalyan Yojana 2025 and get the benefits of this scheme. Download the official notification/guidelines and read it carefully, and check all the mandatory details like benefits, eligibility, application process, etc from the government website.
