## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE (PROF. S. P. SINGH BAGHEL)

(a) to (d): District-wise details of Ayushman cards created under Ayushman Bharat - Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY), implemented in convergence with Haryana State scheme 'Comprehensive Health Insurance of Antyodaya Units' (CHIRAYU), are at Annexure . Under the converged scheme, a total of 47.18 lakh families are eligible for healthcare benefits, out of which 17.24 lakh families are supported by Central and State Government. The balance of 29.94 lakh families are supported exclusively by the State Government.

As on 25 th July 2023, a total of 85.14 lakh Ayushman cards have been created in the State of Haryana, out of which 4.32 lakh Ayushman cards have been created in Sonipat district. District-level target is a function of restructuring of district-wise beneficiary.

Flexibility has been provided to States/UTs to use non-SECC beneficiary family database for tagging against the leftover (unauthenticated) SECC families. Accordingly, many States have shared database of poor and vulnerable families against unidentified SECC families. These databases have been integrated with NHA ' s IT system for card creation.
