The AB-NHPM aims to target over 10 crore families beloning to poor and vulnerable population based on Socio Economic and Caste Census 2011 and not the 2011 Population Census.

The Government of India conceived an ambitious medical scheme, ‘Ayushman Bharat Yojana-National Health Protection Scheme’ to ensure complete and efficient healthcare services to its people. The scheme will cut down the financial strain on the poor and sensitive groups, improvise the current conditions of the poor, and provide them with good medical facilities in the form of health insurance.

The scheme was announced on the auspicious occasion of Independence Day by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and will be launched on September 25, 2018. The scheme is also called ‘Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Abhiyaan’ and is dubbed as ‘Modicare’.
