Summary:
However, the CAG has revealed that this MA scheme of the Gujarat government has failed to treat the poor as the state government had a faulty or incomplete database. CM Vijay Rupani and deputy CM Nitin Patel will formally launch this scheme in Gujarat on September 23 from Ahmedabad. The Gujarat government, in 2012, had launched the Mukhyamantri Amrutam (MA) Yojana with an objective to provide cashless and quality tertiary medical treatment to people living below the poverty line (BPL). This happened because the government machinery including volunteers failed to bring the beneficiaries at the kiosk centers for registration under the scheme. The department did not follow the enrolment procedure and opted for bulk printing of MA cards for BPLs who were already registered under Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) scheme..
