Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission : As Envisaged
Dear PM Shri Modiji,
Over the past 7 years, you have initiated / inspired / conceived and implemented many reforms to alleviate poverty and make lives of our citizen – especially the poor citizen – livable in dignity
Among those reforms, your yesterday’s launch of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission is the most revolutionary !
After Roti – Kapda – Makan , thank you for making “ Sehat ( Health ) “ the fourth “ Basic Need “ of life
