All senior citizens above 70 years and the transgender community will be brought under the ambit of the Centre’s health scheme Ayushman Bharat Yojana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said after releasing the Bharatiya Janata Party’s manifesto for the Lok Sabha elections 2024 on Sunday, April.
“The BJP has been working tirelessly to ensure social development and social inclusion in a true sense. The BJP has now taken the ‘Sankalp’ that every individual above 70 years of age will be brought within the purview of Ayushman Bharat Yojana,” Modi said.
“We have also decided to bring the transgender community under the ambit of Ayushman Bharat Yojana,” he added.
Modi said the coming five years will be about women’s contribution and participation. Women will be trained for IT, tourism, education, health, and retail sectors.
