Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday urged Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to introduce the Centre’s Ayushman Yojana in the State at this critical juncture when the whole world is in the grip of coronavirus outbreak.
Pradhan in a tweet said the Centre’s scheme must be implemented in Odisha for the benefit of poor people who are fighting the deadly virus. He said the Centre, as well as the State have been trying their best to protect the people from the onslaught of COVID-19. It is high time the Government of Odisha came forward to do the needful for the implementation of the Ayushman health scheme at the earliest, said Pradhan.
