For families with an annual income of up to Rs 3 lakh, the cards are available for a nominal fee of Rs 1500. Additionally, the government has decided to give the benefit of the Ayushman Card Scheme free of cost to senior citizens above the age of 70.
He also emphasized the significant improvements made in the field of education. To promote higher education for girls, the number of colleges in Haryana has been increased. Furthermore, Haryana has become the first state in the country to take the initiative to implement the National Education Policy by 2025. He said that the youth are now being given government jobs without any Kharchi-Parchi (bribe-recommendation) enabling youth to secure jobs based on their hard work. On the sports front, Haryana is gaining recognition at international level. State players are achieving success in world-class competitions, winning medals and bringing laurels to both the country and the state. In line with this, open gyms, vyamshalas, and playgrounds are being established in villages, and trainers are being appointed to further support the development of sports.
